Welch v. Triple Cities Traction Corporation

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 29, 1942
265 App. Div. 984 (N.Y. App. Div. 1942)

Opinion

December 29, 1942.


Defendant has appealed from a judgment in plaintiff's favor in an action to recover damages for negligence and from an order denying its motion for a new trial. Defendant is a common carrier for hire operating buses in the city of Binghamton, New York. On February 15, 1940, plaintiff, while alighting from one of its buses, fell on ice and snow. There is evidence to sustain the finding of the jury that defendant was negligent in failing to provide a reasonably safe place for plaintiff to alight from the bus. Judgment and order affirmed with costs. Crapser, Heffernan and Foster, JJ., concur; Hill, P.J., and Bliss, J., dissent.
