FALL FROM TRUCK BED 20 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND NOT COVERED BY LABOR LAW 240 (1).

The Fourth Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s fall from a truck bed was not the type of elevation risk covered by Labor Law 240 (1):

Plaintiffs commenced this Labor Law and common-law negligence action seeking damages for injuries sustained by Joseph T. Grabar (plaintiff) when the trailer on which plaintiff was standing tipped, and he fell. Plaintiff was on the bed of the trailer in order to place fuel in a welder that was located on the trailer, and it is undisputed that the trailer bed was approximately 20 inches from the ground. …

We conclude that the trailer “did not present the kind of elevation-related risk that the statute contemplates” … . Grabar v Nichols, Long & Moore Constr. Corp., 2017 NY Slip Op 01068, 4th Dept 2-10-17
