A Hartford Superior Court judge has denied requests from a general contractor and scaffold owner for summary judgment in a lawsuit filed by a carpenter who claims he was injured after falling 50 feet from a defective scaffold.
The two businesses tried to shift blame to Billy Joe Madore, who was injured in the June 2016 construction project in Hartford. But Superior Court Judge Matthew Dallas Gordon ruled Friday that the negligent claims would stand against FIP Construction Inc., the project’s general contractor, and Advanced Performance Glass Inc., which owned the scaffold. The judge also denied Advanced Performance Glass’ motion for summary judgment related to recklessness, while granting summary judgment for recklessness as it dealt with FIP.
