New York Court of Appeals

May Boronkay, as Administratrix of the Estate of Nicholas Boronkay, Deceased, Respondent v. Robinson & Carpenter…

February 14, 1928247 N.Y. 365

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment, holding that a violation of the General Highway Traffic Law requiring vehicles to stop with their right‑hand side to the curb does not create a duty to protect a child standing on the curb, and that such statutory breach was not a proximate cause of the child's death.
