As an attorney who represents injured workers in construction accidents, I read with interest Raymond Green’s article, “Labor Law §240 and CPLR 14-A Legislation: A Different Look,” (NYLJ, Nov. 1).

Green, who represents insurance carriers, seems to wax nostalgic for a time prior to the 1969 amendment of Labor Law §240, when owners and general contractors could escape liability under Labor Law §240 by arguing that they did not personally “direct” the injured worker.
