ABSENCE OF SAFETY RAIL ON SCAFFOLDING ENTITLED PLAINTIFF TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON LABOR LAW 240(1) CAUSE OF ACTION.

The Second Department determined plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment on the Labor Law 240(1) cause of action. Plaintiff fell from scaffolding after suffering an electric shock. There was no safety rail on the scaffolding:

Labor Law § 240(1) is to be “interpreted liberally to accomplish its purpose” … . To establish liability pursuant to Labor Law § 240(1), a plaintiff must demonstrate a violation of the statute and that such violation was a proximate cause of his or her injuries … . Here, the plaintiff established his prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that he was injured when he fell from a scaffold that lacked a safety railing, and that he was not provided with a safety device to prevent him from falling … . Viera v WFJ Realty Corp., 2016 NY Slip Op 04202, 2nd Dept 6-1-16
