Plaintiff testified that the ladder she stood on inexplicably wobbled beneath her, causing her to fall and be injured, and there is no evidence in the record from which it could reasonably be inferred that she was the sole proximate cause of her injuries (see Harrison v. V.R.H. Constr. Corp., 72 AD3d 547 [1st Dept 2010]).
