The injured worker fell off of an 18-foot-high scaffold while working on the building. As the scaffold was not tall enough to reach the ceiling, the worker stood on a crate that was placed on the scaffold's top level. The claim was that this configuration was a violation of the New York State Labor Law. <br /><font color="#3366ff"><u>www.foleygriffin.com</u></font><br /></div>Jay D.
