KWMC Prevails in the Appellate Division, Reversing The Supreme Court’s Denial of Summary Judgment

KWMC prevailed before the Appellate Division, Second Department, reversing the Queens County trial court’s order denying summary judgment.  Plaintiff, a customer of the defendant’s auto shop, alleged that he was caused to fall due to snow/ice on the defendant’s premises.  The Supreme Court, Queens County denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment, in which it was argued that defendant had no duty to remove the snow/ice while there was an ongoing storm in progress.  The Appellate Division, in a Decision & Order dated February 1, 2024, reversed the decision of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hon. Mojgan Lancman, dated January 5, 2023), dismissing the case in its entirety.
