Labor Law/ Wrongful Death
Jeffrey Van Etten & Elizabeth G. Kastner
Appellate Division, First Department unanimously affirmed the grant of Summary Judgement received by partner, Jeffrey K. Van Etten, in a Wrongful Death Labor Law case involving a 13 Story fall from a Condominium building during window washing activities by the decedent. The Court agreed with the lack of duty arguments postured on behalf of our client, an independent contractor, and agreed that there was no evidence that their actions caused or resulted in the cutting of anchor bolts for the use by the decedent. Our Appellate Brief was prepared jointly by Mr. Van Etten and Elizabeth Gelfand Kastner, our in-office Appellate Counsel.
