NY Labor Law §240, §241(6), and §200 cover crane accidents on construction sites — from crane collapses and boom failures to rigging malfunctions and dropped loads. When a crane injures a worker, liability falls on the property owner and general contractor who were responsible for safe hoisting and rigging operations on site.
01 — NY Labor Law
New York is the only state that imposes absolute liability on owners and general contractors for certain construction injuries. That framework — §240, §241(6), and §200 — is the spine of every serious construction case.
Absolute liability for owners and GCs when a worker is injured by an elevation-related hazard — fall from height, falling object, scaffold collapse, ladder fall. Worker comparative fault is no defense.
Liability when a worker is injured because a specific provision of New York’s Industrial Code was violated. Defective equipment, unsafe walking surfaces, inadequate guarding, electrical hazards.
General negligence framework codified — owner or contractor liable where they had authority to supervise or control the work and failed to use reasonable care.
