McNally v. Saban
Summary Judgment Granted by Appellate Division
Plaintiff, a tenant, fell down a stairway in our insured's premises. He claimed that the lack of a handrail was a proximate cause of his fall. We presented evidence that his blood alcohol level, even hours after his fall, was above the legal limit. The court found that plaintiff's intoxication and not the lack of a handrail was the proximate cause of plaintiff's fall. The plaintiff suffered a skull fracture with intracranial hemorrhage requiring craniotomy and resulting in seizures and dementia, and permanent institutionalization. On appeal First Dep't reversed lower court and granted summary judgment.
