PLAINTIFF ALLEGEDLY SLIPPED AND FELL AFTER STEPPING ON A BOTTLE CAP; PLAINTIFF’S LABOR LAW 241 (6) AND 200 CAUSES OF ACTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the Labor Law 241(6) and 200 causes of action should not have been dismissed. Plaintiff alleged he stepped on a bottle cap which caused him to slip and fall:

The record presents an issue of fact as to whether the bottle cap that caused the injured plaintiff’s slip-and-fall accident on the construction site was part of an accumulation of debris within the meaning of Industrial Code (12 NYCRR) § 23-1.7(e), on which the Labor Law § 241(6) claim is predicated … .

[Defendant] failed to demonstrate, by submitting evidence of when the area was last cleaned or inspected before the injured plaintiff’s accident, that the Labor Law § 200 and negligence claims should be dismissed as against it … . Plaza presented only general testimony by its employees that the area was inspected daily and that debris was removed by laborers. Deleo v JPMorgan Chase & Co., 2021 NY Slip Op 06320, First Dept 11-16-21
