$250,000 awarded to a 47 year old plumber’s assistant employed by a sprinkler company, who fell from a 15 foot height while attempting to replace a sprinkler head in a residential building. Plaintiff sustained a tibial plateau fracture and required surgery to a repair a medial meniscus. Our office argued under Labor Law Section 240 (a New York statute, also known as the scaffold law, that protects the rights of workers injured in high falls or after being struck by a falling object, by holding that the general contractor, project owner, project manager, and building owner may all be held responsible if an injury occurs) that plaintiff should have been provided with a Baker’s scaffold and other safety devices by the companies monitoring his job site.
