This outdated law holds property owners and contractors fully liable for worksite accidents, regardless of the contributing fault of the worker.
The Scaffold Law is particularly challenging for minority- and women-owned businesses, as the inflated premiums they must pay for liability insurance put them at a competitive disadvantage when bidding projects against larger firms.
If $1 billion right now came in New York State and Federal taxpayer money through an infrastructure bill, 10 percent of that would be peeled off because of the Scaffold Law, $1 million would be essentially wasted.
