Donald T. Polzo, etc. v. County of Essex, et al. (A-69-07)

Argued September 9, 2008 -- Decided December 3, 2008

RIVERA-SOTO, J., writing for a unanimous Court.

The Court considers whether, under the Tort Claims Act (Act), N.J.S.A. 59:4-1 to 14-4, the proofs offered by the plaintiff sufficiently established his claim that the defendant County of Essex was on constructive notice of a dangerous condition on public property that caused his wife’s death.
