Decision Date | 14 February 2006 |
Docket Number | 7846. |
Citation | 26 A.D.3d 225,809 N.Y.S.2d 47,2006 NY Slip Op 01129 |
Parties | JOE MACCHIA, Appellant, v. NASTASI WHITE, INC., Defendant, and McCLIER CORPORATION et al., Respondents. McCLIER CORPORATION, Third-Party Plaintiff, v. THEODORE WILLIAMS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Third-Party Defendant-Respondent. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
In the present circumstances, a material issue of fact as to whether the accident happened as plaintiff claims precludes summary disposition of the Labor Law § 240 (1) claim (see Manna v. New York City Hous. Auth., 215 AD2d 335 [1995]). Plaintiff argues that defendants have not submitted any evidence to contradict his account. However, his own foreman testified that according to the daily job reports, plaintiff was not working on the date of the alleged accident. The foreman also testified that the task he had assigned plaintiff, i.e., washing the furniture with a rag, did not involve the use of a ladder. The foreman's account thus raises factual issues as to whether plaintiff was subjected to an elevation-related risk, and whether that activity was the proximate cause of his injury.
