Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the Supreme Court properly denied its motion for summary judgment. Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the plaintiff as the party opposing summary judgment ( see, Rockowitz v. City of New York, 255 A.D.2d 434; Rosen Furs v. Sigma Plumbing Heating Corp., 249 A.D.2d 276), and giving her the benefit of every favorable inference ( see, Sofair v. Levin-Epstein, 231 A.D.2d 706), the plaintiff established the existence of issues of fact concerning the manner in which the accident occurred, and whether an employee of the defendant negligently contributed thereto.
