Rivera v. New York City Transit Authority, 4330.
Decision Date | 19 October 2004 |
Docket Number | 4330. |
Citation | 2004 NY Slip Op 07433,782 N.Y.S.2d 912,11 A.D.3d 333 |
Parties | YVETTE RIVERA, Appellant, v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY et al., Respondents. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Defendants' submissions in opposition to plaintiff's summary judgment motion were sufficient to raise a triable issue as to whether defendant bus driver's loss of vehicular control was attributable to an unforeseeable medical emergency, and thus warranted denial of the motion (see Thomas v Hulslander, 233 AD2d 567 [1996]). Although defendants have not pleaded the affirmative defense of medical emergency in their answers, in view of the evidence submitted in opposition to plaintiff's motion we deem defendants' answers amended to assert the defense (see Dampskibsselskabet Torm A/S v P.L. Thomas Paper Co., 26 AD2d 347, 352 [1966]).
