Opinion
February 18, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard Silver, J.).
Plaintiff's testimony, corroborated by that of his co-worker, and uncontradicted by other competent evidence (see, Salzo v. Bedding Showcase, 238 A.D.2d 180, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 806), that the plywood platform on the scaffold upon which he was working collapsed, causing him to fall, was properly found to be a sufficient predicate for liability under Labor Law § 240 Lab. (1) (see, Aragon v. 233 W. 21st St., 201 A.D.2d 353, 354).
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Ellerin, Lerner and Rubin, JJ.
