According to the filing, the dispute traces back to March 21, 2022, when an employee of Donaldson Interiors, Inc. was allegedly injured by an “electrical hazard” during a build-out of the 63rd through 66th floors at One Vanderbilt Avenue. The worker, Ignatius F. Mule, alleges he sustained serious injuries including traumatic brain injury with cognitive defects, anxiety and depression, cervical disc herniation, lumbar disc bulges, rotator cuff and labrum tears, a torn meniscus, and additional sprains and strains. He brought suit against the general contractor J.T. Magen & Company Inc., building owner One Vanderbilt Owner LLC, and tenant Stone Ridge Asset Management LLC, among others, asserting claims of negligence and violations of the New York Labor Law and the New York Industrial Code.
