After she was injured in a car crash, Laurel Frega sued Gallinger Real Estate (GRE) claiming the company had had installed a sign which obstructed her view of traffic thus causing or contributing to the collision.
After the Onondaga County Supreme Court denied GRE's dismissal request, the company appealed to the Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
Since GRE's expert convincingly demonstrated that the sign was located a sufficient distance from the intersection (so that Frega could have safely stopped and observed approaching traffic), the AD4 was of the view GRE didn't cause the accident and dismissed the case.
That was a Fregan car wreck!
