Etela Izrailev, as Administratrix of the Estate of Sema Z. Izrailev v. Ficarra Furniture of Long Island, Inc…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that Labor Law §240 applies to the electric sign because it is part of the building, that the decedent’s repair work falls within the statute’s covered categories, and that the trial court erred by limiting the jury charge to the ladder, necessitating a new trial.
