Nazario v. Kohtio
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 20, 2008
49 A.D.3d 429; 852 N.Y.2d 841
Nazario v. Kohtio

Opinion of the Court

Summary judgment was properly denied in this action where *430plaintiff alleges he was injured when he was struck by defendant’s motor vehicle while crossing the street. Defendant failed to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law since there exist triable issues as to whether defendant exercised due care to avoid the collision (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1146), and whether plaintiff was comparatively negligent by failing to exercise due care while admittedly crossing the street at a point other than an intersection or a crosswalk (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1152 [a]; Ryan v Budget Rent a Car, 37 AD3d 698 [2007]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Friedman, Nardelli, Catterson and Moskowitz, JJ.
