Harrington v. Mady's, Inc.

279 App. Div. 828 (N.Y. App. Div. 1952)

Opinion

January 9, 1952.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Albany County.

Present — Foster, P.J., Heffernan, Brewster, Bergan and Coon, JJ.


Plaintiff was an invitee in defendant's store. While there she slipped and fell, sustaining the injuries for which a jury awarded her damages. She claims that the floor in the vicinity of her fall was made slippery by the act of some employee of the store shaking flowers, that had been in receptacles containing water, over that area. The proof was circumstantial but we think it was sufficient to raise issues of fact for the jury. Judgment and order unanimously affirmed, with costs.
