After she slipped and fell in front of a Lord & Taylor entrance, Dodo M. filed a personal-injury lawsuit against the company.
While the Nassau County Supreme Court didn’t think Dodo had a case, the Appellate Division, Second Department, thought that Lord & Taylor needed to show that it lacked notice of the dangerous condition--by showing when the area was last cleaned or inspected.
Because the store only referenced its general cleaning practices, that, in the AD2’s view, warranted the litigation’s reinstatement.
Bunch of dodos?
