By Richard Seward

The accident took place in December after Alcides Moreno, 37, and his brother, Edgar, stepped onto an East 66th Street building’s window washing scaffold. When the scaffolding collapsed, the brothers fell 47 stories to the plaza below.
Edgar was pronounced dead at the scene. Alcides survived and is undergoing treatment at a physical rehabilitation center.
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, claims that the recklessness and negligence demonstrated by the companies responsible for the management and construction of the scaffolding were the major contributing factors in the accident. Currently, the management company’s insurance company is looking into the suit.
