Partner, Courtney Chadwell recently secured a major victory in Bronx County Supreme Court on behalf of the defendant in a complex Labor Law matter involving multiple third-party claims arising from a construction site accident.

In a detailed motion and intense oral argument, the Court granted summary judgment dismissing all claims against the firm’s client including claims for contractual indemnification, contribution, and common-law indemnification, while also finding the Workers’ Compensation exclusivity defense applicable.

The Court further determined that the third-party entities operated as a single integrated entity, barring additional recovery claims under Workers’ Compensation Law §11. This result significantly narrowed the scope of the litigation and eliminated substantial exposure for the client, reinforcing BMM’s strategic approach to high-stakes construction and labor law defense matters.

At Barry McTiernan & Moore LLC, we understand that high-intensity litigation requires more than legal knowledge, it requires responsiveness, strategy, and unwavering commitment to our clients at every stage of the case. Whether navigating complex Labor Law claims or defending against significant exposure, our team remains focused on delivering practical, results-driven advocacy when our clients need it most.

We are pleased to share another successful result secured by Partner, John Wynne. In a Queens County matter arising from an alleged motor vehicle accident involving the firm's transit client and a parked passenger vehicle, John successfully defended against claims alleging significant personal injuries and future medical treatment. After a thorough investigation and strategic defense focused on liability, the action was ultimately discontinued by plaintiff with prejudice in favor of our clients.

From the outset, the defense strategy centered on the factual evidence demonstrating that the claimant opened a vehicle door into the path of a moving bus, with impact occurring near the rear wheel well and rear passenger door area of the bus. Detailed accident investigations, witness preparation, operator statements, and reports were instrumental in positioning the matter as a strong candidate for summary judgment on liability. This aggressive approach convinced the plaintiff to discontinue the matter.

We continue to strive for good results for our clients, which includes early liability assessment, strategic case positioning, aggressive motion practice evaluation, and favorable case resolution without indemnity exposure. By leveraging prompt investigation and fact-based advocacy, John was able to secure a complete dismissal of the claims against the clients, reinforcing our commitment to efficient and effective defense litigation.

Barry McTiernan & Moore LLC continues to secure strong results in complex New York Labor Law litigation matters through strategic early investigation and focused defense analysis.

In a recent matter involving alleged injuries stemming from a claimed ladder fall at a construction site, Associate, Shiara Robinson utilized the factual record and accident investigation materials to challenge the plaintiff’s claims and our client’s involvement. The firm’s client completed its limited work at the site several weeks before the plaintiffs accident and was not a proper labor law defendant.

Shiara with the help of Partner, Patrick Whitford conducted an immediate factual and liability assessment, pre-discovery, preserving key defenses and developing a litigation strategy centered on causation, site conditions, and the plaintiff’s own documentation. Through proactive motion practice and detailed analysis of the accident reports and surrounding facts, Shiara successfully positioned the matter favorably for our client while working to mitigate potential exposure and legal spend in a high-risk Labor Law case.

BMM remains committed to delivering efficient, detail-oriented defense strategies on behalf of our clients in construction, general liability, and Labor Law matters.

Building strong client relationships doesn’t only happen in the office or courtroom — sometimes it starts on the driving range. ⛳

Members of the BMM team, Ashley Johnston and Ryan Rayder recently attended the Young Lawyers Section Golf Night hosted by the New York City Bar Association — an evening focused on learning the fundamentals of golf while connecting with fellow attorneys in a relaxed and collaborative setting.

From first swings to shared laughs, the event highlighted an important part of professional growth within the legal industry: developing confidence and relationship-building skills in the spaces where conversations, trust, and long-term partnerships often begin.

At Barry McTiernan & Moore LLC, we believe strong attorneys are not only skilled advocates, but strong communicators and relationship builders. Opportunities like these allow young professionals to expand their networks, strengthen interpersonal skills, and continue growing both personally and professionally.

A great evening for learning, collaboration, and community.
