Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to damages recoverable when contributory negligence or assumption of risk is established in cases involving building construction, demolition and repair work
AI Summary
This bill amends the Civil Practice Law and Rules to clarify that the principles of comparative negligence, where the plaintiff's damages are reduced in proportion to their own contributory negligence or assumption of risk, apply to any action for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death brought under Article 10 of the Labor Law, which covers construction, demolition, and repair work. This is intended to address any previous judicial precedents, statutes, rules, or regulations that may have suggested otherwise. The bill will take effect on January 1 following its enactment and apply to all actions commenced on or after that date.
