STATE OF NEW YORK, # 2018-053-512, Claim No. 121454, Motion No. M-91332 M-91332 The claim asserts causes of action for breach of contract and breaches of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing relating to claimant's dismissal from a SUNY masters degree program.

February 5, 2018 | 2018-053-001 : VALVO v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, # 2018-053-001, Claim No. 118356 Following a bifurcated trial on the issue of liability, the Court finds that the State violated Labor Law 240 (1) and that this violation was a proximate cause of claimant's injuries. The State is found 100% responsible for claimant's fall from a ladder at a construction site and his resulting injuries. The evidence established that the ladder upon which claimant was descending kicked out, causing claimant's fall. The State failed to establish that the claimant's actions were the sole proximate cause of his injuries. The Court also finds as not credible the State's alternative position that there was no violation of Labor Law 240 (1) as the injuries did not occur on that date, but as a result of claimant stepping into a drain on a subsequent date. Claimant's common law negligence and Labor Law 200 causes of action are dismissed. The State's post-trial motion to dismiss claimant's Labor Law 241 (6) cause of action is denied as moot. |
