February 9, 199585 N.Y.2d 828
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s negligence claim, holding that the plaintiff provided sufficient evidence that the bus stop was unusually and violently abrupt. The Court remanded for the lower court to consider the weight of the evidence and the excessiveness of damages.
