Scaffolding Claims, Ladder Injuries And Third-Party Liability Issues

When you suffer a scaffolding fall injury or a ladder fall, our attorneys will investigate whether there are potential personal injury claims against the person or business responsible for your injury. Construction firms, contractors, property owners and site supervisors may have violated safety rules. The ladder or scaffolding may have been designed defectively. We will determine whether those responsible for your injury were in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations on worker safety.

We handle all types of commercial and residential ladder and scaffolding accidents, including:

  • Scaffold erected without proper railings
  • Improper loading of ladders or scaffolding
  • Lack of fall protection
  • Lack of proper ladders
  • Inadequate anchoring
  • Inadequate or missing decking
  • Inadequate safety warnings
  • Defective ladders or scaffolding components

Ladder and scaffold injury cases can be very complex. Whether or not you have a valid claim depends on factors like who you were working for, who caused the accident and who erected the scaffolding. We can assess your case and advise you of your legal rights and options.
