During a building project, an employee of the insured was struck in the head by a piece of plywood dropped from above by a co-worker.
The plaintiff alleged head and back injuries. The New York labor Law applied and the insured also provided a defense and indemnification to the building owner and the General Contractor. The case settled for $1.5m and the policy contributed $1m, of which $750,000 was reinsured on an Excess of Loss basis.
