Court of Appeals of New York


Toefer v. Long Island R.R., 37, 38

Workers who fall from the surface of a flatbed truck that is between four and five feet off the ground may not recover under Labor Law section 240(1) since their injuries did not result from the sort of "elevation-related risk" that is essential to a cause of action under that section.
