Doerr v. Goldsmith, No. 9030, 103840/10, 2013 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6387 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Oct. 3, 2013)

(plaintiff was injured as a result of colliding with defendants’ dog while riding bicycle; while state law bars negligence claims in cases involving animal injuries, this case involved facts where dog at issue under complete control of defendants’ at all times up to split second before accident; as such, it was defendants’ actions rather than the dog’s instinctive, volitional behavior that proximately caused the accident; defendants’ motion for summary judgment denied).
