Labor Law-Construction Law

QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER ACCIDENT WAS GRAVITY-RELATED, MOTORIZED WHEELBARROW SLID DOWN HILL.

The First Department determined there was a question of fact whether the accident was related to a gravity-related risk or merely part of the usual dangers of construction work. Plaintiff was operating a motorized wheelbarrow and was stopped near the top of a hill when it slid down the hill:

Issues of fact exist here as to whether plaintiff’s accident was the result of a gravity-related risk or part of the usual and ordinary dangers of the work site …  . Hence partial summary judgment on plaintiff’s Labor Law § 240(1) claim should have been denied, and summary dismissal of plaintiff’s Labor Law § 200 and common law negligence claims was properly denied. Ankers v Horizon Group, LLC, 2016 NY Slip Op 05342, 1st Dept 7-5-16
