THE SKY WAS FALLING?
Harold Ewing sued Brunner International (and others) after suffering injuries in a roof collapse.
When the Orleans County Supreme Court denied Ewing's request to find Brunner liable for the work-related incident, he appealed to the Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
Since a work-site collapse is a "prima facie violation" of the New York State Labor Law, and Brunner was unable to show Ewing was somehow responsible for his injuries, the AD4 reversed and found in the employee's favor.
That came on Ewing and a prayer.
