Wirth v. De Vito

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 19, 1982
89 A.D.2d 603 (N.Y. App. Div. 1982)

Opinion

July 19, 1982


In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., plaintiffs appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Beisheim, J.), entered October 9, 1980, which was in favor of the defendant, upon a jury verdict. Judgment reversed, on the law, and new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. The Trial Judge committed reversible error by refusing to charge the jury that defendant could be found liable on the alternate theories of creation of a hazardous condition or the failure to warn of the existence, of certain potentially dangerous conditions (cf. Cook v. Rezende, 32 N.Y.2d 596; McCabe v. Mackay, 253 N.Y. 440). Mollen, P.J., Titone and Rubin, JJ., concur; Weinstein, J., dissents and votes to affirm the judgment.
