Ladder Falls
A ladder fall can leave the injured with broken bones, head injuries, back injuries and other serious injuries. If you or a loved one have been injured in a ladder fall at work, it is important to protect your legal rights.

At Jacobs & Jacobs, our attorneys have extensive experience helping injured workers from New Haven and throughout Connecticut. We have the skill and experience to help you obtain the compensation you need to pay for your medical bills, lost wages and other hardships.

Workers in many occupations must use ladders to perform their job duties. These include construction workers, painters, roofers, window washers, and electricians. When safety precautions are not taken, these workers can suffer falls from heights, often resulting in serious injuries. In extreme cases, a fall can result in a catastrophic injury or even a wrongful death.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a ladder fall, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. If the fall was the result of negligence on the part of a third party, such as a general contractor, you may also be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys can help you pursue all avenues of compensation so that you and your family have the resources you need to move on from this accident.

Have you or someone close to you been injured in a ladder fall accident? Please contact us online or by telephone at 866-668-7179. If you cannot come to the office, we will come to your hospital room or home. We want to help you and your family through this.
