In a decision dated August 6, 2026, the Honorable Caroline Piela Cohen of Supreme Court, Kings County, granted summary judgment to our client, third-party defendant, 11 Enviro Group, LLC, dismissing the third-party complaint and all cross-claims against it as a matter of law.  11 Enviro Group is in the business of maintaining, cleaning and inspecting water and wastewater pipelines, storm drains and catch basins. 11 Enviro Group was added as a third-party defendant by the abutting owner and its laundromat tenant, alleging that its truck created a crack on the sidewalk where the plaintiff tripped and fell. On behalf of 11 Enviro Group, we argued there was no evidence it caused a crack on the sidewalk where the plaintiff’s accident occurred.  We relied on Google photographs of the sidewalk in question showing that the alleged crack on the sidewalk existed for over a decade prior to the plaintiff’s accident.  We also produced records of 11 Enviro Group showing it was not working near the location of the accident and that it did not create the alleged crack on the sidewalk which the plaintiff alleges caused his accident.
