New York Court of Appeals
Jacqueline Galindo v. Town…
May 13, 20042 N.Y.3d 633
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for the defendant, holding that a landowner who does not own or control the property on which a dangerous condition exists owes no duty to warn a visitor, even when the injury occurs on the landowner's own property. The Court reasoned that duty to warn is limited to hazards on the landowner's own premises unless the landowner created or contributed to the condition.
