Many of the injured workers who seek recovery under Sections 240 or 241[6] of the Labor Law also plead violations of Section 200 of that law. Much has been written about Labor Law §240 (the so-called “scaffold statute”) and §241[6] (imposing vicarious liability for certain Industrial code violations). Yet, save for a trio of wonderfully elucidative opinions by Justice Mark C. Dillon of the Appellate Division, Second Department,1 there has been comparatively little analysis concerning the even more frequently invoked provisions of Labor Law §200.
This column focuses on Labor Law §200, a statute that is routinely pleaded in actions arising from workplace injuries, but is often misunderstood.
