The court found on credible evidence that the plaintiff was employed by the defendants and that the defendants breached their duty by adopting an unsafe demolition method and failing to supervise. The defendants were liable for the supervisor's directions. The court quantified damages using contemporaneous earnings as a benchmark, applied a 5% efficiency reduction, calculated past and future losses with appropriate multipliers and interest, and awarded PSLA, special damages and costs accordingly.
