Carol Krick v. Fluor Daniel, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Feb 7, 1997
236 A.D.2d 783 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

February 7, 1997.

Order affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Even assuming, arguendo, that Robert J. Krick was engaged in a protected activity when he was injured ( see, Holka v Mt. Mercy Academy, 221 AD2d 949, lv dismissed 87 NY2d 1055), the complaint was properly dismissed. Because defendant Fluor Daniel, Inc. (Fluor Daniel), had no authority to supervise and control the work being performed by Krick, it is not liable pursuant to Labor Law § 240 (1) or § 241 (6) as an agent of the owner ( see, Russin v Picciano Son, 54 NY2d 311, 318; Wright v Nichter Constr. Co., 213 AD2d 995, 995-996). Because there is no evidence that Fluor Daniel controlled the manner and method of Krick's work, it also is not liable pursuant to Labor Law § 200 ( see, Adamczyk v Hillview Estates Dev. Corp., 226 AD2d 1049; Foster v Joseph Co., 216 AD2d 944, 945).

Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Wesley, Doerr and Balio, JJ.
