Summary Judgment in Multi-million Dollar New York Labor Law 241(6) Construction Accident Case
Thursday, August 16, 2018
The Firm obtained summary judgment on behalf of our client, a large national retail corporation, in a lawsuit commenced by a worker who allegedly sustained millions of dollars in damages due to an accident at a construction site. Even though our client, as owner of the premises, could have been held vicariously liable pursuant to 241(6) of the Labor Law, we were able to convince the Court, at oral argument and in motion papers, that our client could not be held liable to the plaintiff or any party, under any theory of liability.
