Letts v. Globe Metallurgical, Inc.

Memorandum:

Plaintiff commenced this action to recover damages for injuries he sustained when a 2,400-pound steel plate that he had welded into place fell on him, pinning him to the floor. Defendant owns the plant where the accident occurred, and the complaint alleges common-law negligence and the violation of Labor Law §§ 200 and 241 (6). Supreme Court granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint only with respect to part of the Labor Law § 241 (6) claim. We conclude that the court erred in failing to grant defendant’s motion with respect to the section 241 (6)…
