Dismissal of Snow Plow Case

Categories: Dismissal, Judgements Tags:

Bouvier Law attorney Paula Eade Newcomb was successful in obtaining a dismissal of a lawsuit against a municipality and its snow plow operator.  The snow plow operator was in the process of backing up a hill to further remove snow from a country roadway.   He looked in his mirrors, saw nothing, and was ready to plow when the collision occurred with a vehicle that was traveling down the hill.  The supreme court judge agreed with Bouvier Law that the actions of the snow plow driver did not constitute recklessness pursuant to NYS Vehicle & Traffic Law and granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
