Jaroslawicz & Jaros, one of several lead plaintiffs' firms, recently won the fight against the City of New York and the Port Authority of NY and NJ over whether construction workers injured during the clean-up of the World Trade Center site can sue under New York's labor laws. Both the City and the Port Authority had moved to dismiss numerous claims, stating that they were statutorily immune from suit due to several statutes: the State Defense Emergency Act and the New York State and Local Natural Disaster and Man-Made Disaster Preparedness Law. After exhaustive legal battle, the court ruled that workers injured after September 29, 2001, the date the search for survivors had ended, are protected under the New York Labor Laws, and had a right to sue.
