    Fire Dep't v. Egan, OATH Index No. 819/97 (Aug. 15, 1997), aff’d sub nom Egan v. Von Essen, 260 A.D.2d 479, 688 N.Y.S.2d 573 (2d Dep’t 1999). Summary : 1.Admissions made by respondent regarding injuries and plan to cover them up with a work related accident related by two co-workers, which were unexplained by respondent, sufficient proof of misconduct. Petitioner presented evidence from two co-workers who were totally credible that respondent told them he had injured himself at a jujitsu class and planed to cover it up as a work-related injury for a better pension. Circumstantial evidence that respondent sustained an injury during a jujitsu injury produced was also produced through another co-worker. Absent any explanation for the admissions made by respondent, the evidence permits a conclusion that respondent injured himself off duty and falsely claimed to have incurred that injury at work. CHARLES D. McFAUL, Administrative Law Judge This disciplinary proceeding was referred to me pursuant to section 15-113 of the Administrative Code and section 75 of the Civil Service Law. Petitioner, the Fire Department, charged that Firefighter Richard Egan, the respondent, filed false reports with the Department and the Fire Department Pension Fund. The charges alleged that respondent falsely claimed to have sustained injuries while at work on May 10, 1993, when in fact he was injured at a jujitsu class while off duty (ALJ Ex. 1). Respondent denied that he was injured at a jujitsu class and maintained that his injuries and resulting disabilities were work related.

  • Faces from 9/11 © Peter Rousmaniere Published By
    Faces from 9/11 © Peter Rousmaniere published by Workerscompensation.com July 7, 2018 The Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center blasted thousands of tons of asbestos into the air, exposing rescue, recovery and cleanup workers at "the Pile" and in Lower Manhattan to glass fibers, pulverized cement, diesel exhaust and heat so intense that it often melted rescue workers' rubberized boots. I personally viewed Ground Zero in early October from blocks away, a plume rising above it. And I have devoted many hours since then to understanding the cracks in the country's disaster response and compensation systems. Why did Spadafora die? Ronald Spadafora was in charge of New York City Fire Department's Ground Zero safety program for its employees from the first hours after the attack, as they searched for survivors, then remains of the 2,735 killed in the towers' collapse. Among the victims were 343 firefighters. Most of them had been huddling in the second tower to fall, victims of the failure of the Mayor Giuliani's administration to fix a well-known flaw in public safety communications. Spadafora was diagnosed in 2015 with blood cancer, caused by exposure to the toxic air at Ground Zero, the doctors said. On June 28, at age 63, he was buried. Before him, 178 other New York City firefighters were determined to have died from Ground Zero exposure. A medical expert on Ground Zero exposures commented in the mid 2000s, "You have a mix of cancer-causing agents. The reality is that we are never going to know the full range of what the responders were exposed to." She was then mainly concerned about latent risks of cancer.
