As they were painting the walls of the RC Church of Epiphany, Manuel Jimenez and other workers fell after their scaffold shifted.
When they later filed suit, the Kings County Supreme Court found the Church liable for violating New York State's Labor Laws.
Because the guys showed that the Church didn't provide them with appropriate safety equipment, and that that omission was the sole cause of their injuries, the Appellate Division, Second Department, agreed that the Church was legally responsible for what had unfolded.
Someone could sure use a miracle.
