Opinion
October 5, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Morrison, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The trial court properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the causes of action to recover damages for personal injuries and loss of services. Although the plaintiffs did adduce sufficient proof to demonstrate that the defendant, a utility, breached the duty to them to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of the power lines, there is no evidence in this record to establish that the defendant's breach of its duty was a proximate cause of the plaintiffs' alleged injuries (see, Francois v. Commercial Hotel, 131 A.D.2d 540; Edwards v. Nemenyi, 92 A.D.2d 785, affd 61 N.Y.2d 800). Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
