OPINION & ORDER Plaintiffs Luis Uzhca (“Plaintiff’ or “Uzhca”) and Maria Smith bring this personal injury action against Defendants Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”), Sam’s East, Inc. (“Sam’s East”) (together, “Moving Defendants”), and Inland-Greenburgh Delaware Business Trust (collectively, “Defendants”). (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff Uzhca asserts a claim for negligence, alleging that Defendants caused him to sustain injuries when the contents of a tractor/trailer loaded by Defendants fell out and struck him while he opened the tractor/trailer’s rear door. (Id.) Separately, Plaintiff Smith asserts a loss of consortium claim against Defendants as a result of Plaintiff Uzhca’s accident. (Id.) Presently before the Court is Moving Defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing Plaintiff Uzhca’s negligence claim. (ECF No. 63.) For the following reasons, Moving Defendants’ motion is DENIED. BACKGROUND The following facts are drawn from a review of the record and the parties’ Local Rule 56.1 statements. They are not in dispute unless otherwise noted.1 A. Uzhca’s Accident Uzhca was an employee for Sani-Pro Disposal Services Corp. and had been assigned to work at the American Independent Paper Mills Supply Company, Inc. (“American Paper”), located at 15 S. Depot Plaza, Tarrytown, New York. (Compl. 14.) Sam’s East is the operator of the Sam’s Club in Elmsford, New York (“Sam’s Club”), and Wal-Mart is, indirectly, the parent company of Sam’s East. (Defs.’ Local Rule 56.1 Statement (“Defs. 56.1″), ECF No. 65, at n.3; Compl.
11-12; Aff. of Patricia O’Connor (“O’Connor Aff.”), ECF No. 65-15, Ex. B at 1.) While working at American Paper, Uzhca was responsible for getting truck cabs, securing them to one of approximately 10 or 11 trailers parked onsite, and moving the chosen trailer to within eight to ten feet of the loading dock. (Defs. 56.1 2; O’Connor Aff. Ex. D (“Uzhca Dep. Tr.”) at 27:11-33:11, 52:10-19.) Once a trailer was about eight to ten feet away from the loading dock, Uzhca would open its rear doors and then finish backing it into the loading dock. (Uzhca Dep. Tr. at 34:6-35:6.) Uzhca had done this type of work approximately 40 to 50 times prior to the date of his accident. (Defs. 56.1 2; Uzhca Dep. Tr. at 66:10-15.) On May 29, 2015, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Uzhca’s supervisor, Winston Ash (“Ash”), identified a trailer that he wanted Uzhca to move to the loading dock. (Defs. 56.1 3; Uzhca Dep. Tr. at 36:3-19, 51:5-19.) The trailer, which is identified by the number 3263 (“Trailer 3263″) contained bales of cardboard that had been delivered from Sam’s East.
