118 A.D.2d 849

Weeden v. Armor Elevator Co.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1986-03-31

Decided 1986-03-31

¶1— In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Burchell, J.), dated June 18, 1984, which, upon a jury verdict, dismissed her complaint.

¶2Judgment affirmed, with costs.

¶3At the trial, the plaintiff relied both on the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur and on specific evidence of negligence. Thus, contrary to the plaintiff’s contention, the Trial Judge acted properly when he instructed the jury both on that doctrine and on the elements of negligence (see, Abbott v Page Airways, 23 NY2d 502, 511-512; Weeden v Armor Elevator Co., 97 AD2d *850197, 202). Mollen, P. J., Thompson, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
