Case: Individual Employment Rights/Negligence (N.Y. Sup. Ct.)

The Supreme Court of New York, Kings County denied both a plumber’s motion for summary judgment on his Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) claims and his construction employers’ motion to dismiss the Labor Law § 240(1) claim, while granting the employers’ motion to dismiss the Labor Law § 241(6), Labor Law § 200, and common-law negligence claims, finding that factual disputes existed regarding whether the accident involved a qualifying elevation-related risk under § 240(1), but that the employers established lack of supervisory control and notice for the § 200 and negligence claims.
