Description
The sole issue in this appeal *fn1 is whether the plaintiff, Maria Serrano, may recover damages pursuant to General Statutes § 13a-144 *fn2 from the named defendant, J. William Burns, commissioner of transportation (commissioner), for personal injuries she allegedly had suffered as a result of slipping and falling in a public parking lot. The plaintiff appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the commissioner's summary judgment motion and dismissing her action. In this appeal, she argues that the trial court improperly granted the commissioner's motion for summary judgment because: (1) that court improperly concluded that, as a matter of law, the parking lot where the plaintiff was injured was not covered by § 13a-144; and (2) the commissioner's motion was unaccompanied by any affidavits or documentary evidence as required by Practice Book § 17-45. *fn3 We agree with the plaintiff's first claim, and we reverse the trial court's judgment on that basis. We do not, therefore, reach the plaintiff's second claim.
