Scaffolding Accident Lawyer

Scaffolds are temporary platforms that allow work to be done above ground level. They can be suspended from above or supported from below. Approximately 10,000 construction-related injuries that occur each year are scaffolding accidents.

Most scaffolding accidents are caused by defective scaffolding equipment. The equipment was defective primarily due to improper assembly and maintenance. Planking may give way or objects may fall off and hit a worker below.

Despite strict Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as construction industry standards, scaffolding manufacturer standards, and related regulations regarding the proper construction and usage of scaffolds, some components are sometimes omitted to save money.

Scaffold components most often missing include:

  • base plates and mud sills
  • scaffold ties
  • side brackets
  • guard railing
  • toe boards
  • work platform decking
  • fastening (Lock) Pins

If you or a loved one is the victim of a scaffolding accident, then contact one of our personal injury attorneys to discuss your scaffolding accident claim.
