There are inherent risks in working on scaffolding. Companies that erect and maintain them must take precautions to protect workers from accidents. When they fail to take these precautions, workers can suffer falling accidents, get hit with falling debris and equipment, get crushed by collapsing scaffolding, and suffer other accidents.
In pursuing your scaffold accident claim, we explore the cause of the accident: Was the scaffolding properly constructed and maintained? Were features such as safety netting present?
If your accident was the result of the negligence of a third party (not your employer), you may be able to seek a personal injury suit in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits. Our lawyers can help you with all aspects of your personal injury claim, seeking compensation for pain and suffering, and other elements not covered by workers’ compensation law.
