KWMC Obtains Summary Judgment in Labor Law Case Featured in the NY Law Journal

As featured in the NY Law Journal’s decision of the day on January 30, 2025, KWMC partner, Timothy Shelley, was successful in a motion for summary judgment in a NY Labor Law case venued in Kings County.  Plaintiff, alleging violations of NY Labor Law Sections 240(1) and 241(6), claimed that, while installing a temporary perimeter fencing around a construction site in the Bronx, a 70 pound post driver “popped off” the top of a fence post, falling down onto his head/neck.  Per the decision of the Hon. Aaron D. Maslow, dated January 26, 2025, the defendant made a showing that the incident at issue did not fall within the ambit of the Labor Law, warranting dismissal of all claims.
