Protecting Your Right to Seek Fair Compensation
Despite state and federal regulations and construction zone standards designed to promote safety, ladder or scaffolding accidents are still common, and can result in severe injuries and death. Often, pressure to complete a construction project quickly leads to OSHA safety violations on the jobsite. Jobsite workers, visitors and their families have the right to seek compensation for injuries or loss in a ladder fall or scaffolding accident.
The most common scaffold and ladder accidents involve fall injuries. When hurt in accidents involving scaffolding and ladders, workers are entitled to collect workers compensation. They may also have the right to pursue claims against third parties whose negligence could have contributed to the accident. Our experienced lawyers will assist you in recovering damages for construction injuries or wrongful death in a scaffolding collapse or an accident involving:
- Falls off of a ladder or scaffolding structure
- Safety harness failures
- Worker-caused scaffolding failures
- Ladders or scaffolding design defects and manufacturing flaws
- Falling debris or equipment
- Construction trucks or cranes hitting scaffolding
- Improper supervision by construction managers
- Unsafe working conditions
