The pedestrian had been hit by a left-turning vehicle while crossing with the walk signal. The appellate court granted her motion on liability against the transit authority and Atlantic Paratrans of NYC, Inc., but left the denial intact as to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. Blank also appeared for Eric Flowers in Flowers v. Cora Realty Co. LLC, decided January 5, 2023. That appeal concerned requests for further discovery and to strike the defendants’ answer.
