The ruling, issued by Judge Cynthia M. Rufe of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, stems from a March 5, 2022 accident at a high-rise construction site in Philadelphia. A crane’s rigging system detached and fell from an upper level of the site at One Dock Street, striking two workers, Joshua Rastelli and Kevin Flanagan, and causing injuries. Both men later filed lawsuits in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.
