Lee-David Weiner Wins Summary Judgment on Behalf of Snow Removal Contractor
In Russo v. Lake Grove Owners, et al., Supreme Court Suffolk County, Index No: 003987/14, the plaintiff slipped and fell on ice on a walkway while exiting a store in a shopping plaza. Mr. Weiner successfully argued that our client did not owe a duty to the plaintiff, owed no duty under the terms of the snow removal contract with the owner of the shopping plaza and did not create the ice condition that caused plaintiff’s fall. In support of our motion, Mr. Weiner submitted meteorological data that established that there was not enough snow or ice accumulation at the time of plaintiff’s accident that would have trigged our client’s duty under the terms of the snow removal contract to remove snow or ice from the premises.
