QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER PLAINTIFF WAS COMPARATIVELY NEGLIGENT IN THIS LABOR LAW 241(6) ACTION, PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, modifying Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this Labor Law 241 (6) action should not have been granted because there was a question of fact about plaintiff’s comparative negligence:

​

Plaintiff’s testimony that he slipped on water on the floor of the stairwell where he was working establishes prima facie a violation of Labor Law § 241(6) predicated on Industrial Code § 23-1.7(d) (“Slipping hazards”). In opposition, defendant, relying solely on speculative hearsay testimony (by another employee), failed to raise an issue of fact as to the way the accident occurred … .

While the record demonstrates defendant’s liability as a matter of law, an issue of fact exists as to negligence on plaintiff’s part … ,which could result in an apportionment of liability … . Plaintiff testified that, as he entered the stairwell, he was looking up to determine the location of the box through which he was to run cable, and that, while carrying a ladder in one hand, he attempted to descend the staircase without looking at the stairs or the landing in front of him. Luciano v New York City Hous. Auth., 2018 NY Slip Op 00473, First Dept 1-25-18
