Howard A. Hamilton, Respondent v. the City of Buffalo Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's nonsuit, holding that the City of Buffalo was not negligent for a slight depression in a crosswalk that a prudent person would not deem dangerous, and therefore the plaintiff's evidence was insufficient to send the case to a jury. Justice Vann dissented, arguing that the defect was dangerous and that the city could be liable.
