In Jones v. Lehr Construction Corp. (Download GS-ALBANY-Jones_v__Lehr_.DOC ), Supreme Court, Bronx County addressed an interesting point.  The injured worker was on a ladder installing an air conditioning duct to an air conditioner.  The worker was injured when the air conditioner fell about two feet and struck him.  The Court granted the plaintiff’s summary judgment motion regarding his Labor Law sec. 240(1) claims, holding that he met his burden in established that the air conditioning unit fell because of the absence or inadequacy of a safety device of the kind enumerated in the statute for securing or lowering a load.
