While at work, a buckled mat caused Jacqueline Sainval to trip and fall.
When she later sued All Seasons Industrial Services (the mat supplier), and the Queens County Supreme Court refused to dismiss the case, an appeal followed.
Given that the evidence established that the mats were delivered in "excellent" condition, that there was no notice of any defects, and that the company wasn't responsible for their maintenance after they were delivered, the Appellate Division, Second Department, thought All Seasons wasn't responsible for what unfolded and threw the case out.
She sure took it to the mat.
