Laws Covering Scaffolding AccidentsThe New York Scaffold Law (Labor Law Section 240) was enacted to protect workers who perform their jobs at great heights. Falls are most commonly applied to this law. However, it also covers those injured by a scaffold or other materials hoisted above them. The construction site owner and general contractor are held responsible for failing to protect an injured worker. The injured party has no liability.
