ALTHOUGH PLAINTIFF FELL FROM A LADDER, HIS LABOR LAW 240(1) CAUSE OF ACTION WAS PROPERLY DISMISSED; THERE WAS A VIDEO OF PLAINTIFF’S FALL WHICH SHOWED THE LADDER WAS SECURED TO THE SCAFFOLDING AND DID NOT MOVE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined plaintiff’s Labor Law 240(1) cause of action was properly dismissed. Plaintiff fell from a ladder, but there was a video of the fall which showed the ladder did not move and was secured to the scaffolding:

Defendant was properly granted summary judgment dismissing the § 240(1) claim. Surveillance footage of plaintiff falling from the ladder demonstrates that it did not move or shake, refuting plaintiff’s testimony to the contrary … . In addition, photographs taken soon after his fall show that the top of the ladder was connected to the sidewalk bridge and scaffolding above, and tied to the scaffolding structure about one-third of the way up. Cordova v 653 Eleventh Ave. LLC., 2021 NY Slip Op 00490, First Dept 1-28-21
