Singh v. MTA Bus Co.

The Supreme Court properly denied the motion of the defendants MTA Bus Company and Ernie Lamboy (hereinafter together the appellants) for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against them, as the appellants failed to establish their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. The appellants failed to establish that they were free from negligence as a matter of law (see Pollack v Margolin, 84 AD3d 1341, 1342 [2011]; Lopez v Reyes-Flores, 52 AD3d 785, 786 [2008]; Borukhow v Cuff, 48 AD3d 726, 727 [2008]). Moreover, “the appellants failed to elim*866inate all triable issues of fact as to whether [Lamboy] was faced with an emergency situation not of his own making and, if so, whether his actions were reasonable and prudent in that context” (Crawford-Dunk v MV Transp., Inc., 83 AD3d 764, 765 [2011]; see Khan v Canfora, 60 AD3d 635, 636 [2009]; Takle v New York City Tr. Auth., 14 AD3d 608 [2005]). Rivera, J.E, Florio, Austin and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
