- Thrash v Vignier90 Misc 3d 384
The court granted summary judgment on liability to the plaintiff, holding that the death of the defendant driver does not alter the legal standards for opposing summary judgment or create a triable issue of fact. The defendant failed to rebut the inference of negligence arising from a rear-end collision with a stopped vehicle by providing a nonnegligent explanation.
