Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment holding the City of New York liable for negligent placement of warning signs on the Henry Hudson Parkway and upheld the jury's finding of proximate cause and the damages award. The Court rejected the City's argument that the State alone bore responsibility for sign placement under the Highway Law.
