Getting In at the Ground Level: When Is a Risk Elevation-Related?
In his Construction Accident Litigation column, Brian J. Shoot writes: The plaintiff is engaged in what anyone would call construction work when she falls into an uncovered opening while walking on the ground level of the construction site. Does the fact that the opening is at ground level, perhaps with a basement or sub-basement immediately below, mean that it is not an elevation-related risk? Does it matter what kind of an opening it was? Some comments in a recent Court of Appeals ruling raise the issue anew.

In his Construction Accident Litigation column, Brian J. Shoot writes: Many of the injured workers who seek recovery under Sections 240 or 241[6] of the Labor Law also plead violations of Section 200 of that law. Much has been written about the so-called "scaffold statute" and §241[6], which imposes vicarious liability for certain Industrial code violations. Yet there has been comparatively little analysis concerning the even more frequently invoked provisions of Labor Law §200.TRENDING STORIES
