McGuire v. Robison Smith

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Apr 6, 1967
226 N.E.2d 320 (N.Y. 1967)

Summary

In McGuire v. Robison Smith, Inc., 19 N.Y.2d 781, 226 N.E.2d 320 (1967) the Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, 25 App. Div.2d 926, 270 N.Y.S.2d 945 (1966) in sustaining a verdict in favor of a plaintiff who had received an injury from an automatic door. While the facts of that case are not the same as the facts here, we think the New York courts approached the problem in much the same way as we have done.
