By: Michael H. Samuels April 28, 2009	Comments Off on Decision: Young Sook Park v. Edge Auto, Inc.
Court holds that the Graves Amendment 49 USC §30106, barred action for personal injuries against defendant owner and renter of a motor vehicle.
In a motion by defendant Edge Auto, Inc. (“Edge”) pursuant to CPLR §3211(a)(7), (5), (7) and (8) to dismiss plaintiff’s compliant and/or motion for summary judgement pursuant to CPLR §3212, the Court held that the Graves Amendment, 49 USC §30106, preempting Vehicle and Traffic Law §388, barred action by plaintiff for personal injuries against Edge as owner of a vehicle rented to Central Productions, LLC and operated by an employee of Central. The Court held that there is no proof of any affirmative negligence on the part of Edge which would remove this action from the ambit of the Graves Amendment.
