QUINN v. LIBERTY LINES EXPRESS INC (2001)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

Patricia M. QUINN, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. LIBERTY LINES EXPRESS, INC., et al., Defendants-Respondents,
Yonkers Contracting Co., Inc., Defendant-Appellant. Mary Scanlon, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Liberty Lines Express, Inc., et al., Defendants-Respondents,
Yonkers Contracting Co., Inc., Defendant-Appellant. Lillian DeJesus, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Liberty Lines Express, Inc., et al., Defendants-Respondents, Yonkers Contracting Co., Inc., Defendant-Appellant.

Decided: January 04, 2001

ROSENBERGER, J.P., NARDELLI, ELLERIN, WALLACH and RUBIN, JJ.

Edward V. Corrigan, for Defendants-Respondents. Stephen M. Cohen, for Defendant-Appellant. Eliot H. Taub, for Plaintiff-Respondent Mary Scanlon.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Paul Victor, J.), entered on or about June 22, 2000, which, to the extent appealed from, denied the motion of defendant-appellant Yonkers Contracting Company for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Although defendant-appellant maintains that the metal plates on the Madison Avenue Bridge, to which plaintiffs attribute their injuries, were properly installed pursuant to a written directive of the New York City Department of Transportation, the evidence adduced by it in support of its motion for summary judgment, consisting of the deposition testimony of a witness with no personal knowledge respecting the installation of the metal plates at issue, was not sufficient to establish as a matter of law that such installation was effected in a non-negligent manner and in accordance with the City's specifications.
