Guzman v. Vereb

New York Court of Appeals April 21, 1971

Guzman v. Vereb, 28 N.Y.2d 846 (N.Y. 1971)

271 N.E.2d 226; 322 N.Y.S.2d 247; 1971 N.Y. LEXIS 1368

Opinion of the Court

Order reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. It cannot be said that plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law (see Nelson v. Nygren, 259 N. Y. 71, 76). A new trial, however, is appropriate (Cohen and Karger, Powers of the New York Court of Appeals, § 176).

Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel, Jasen and Gibson.
