Scaffolding and Construction Accident Lawyers Serving Brooklyn, New City, and Rockland County
Due to the nature of their work, employees in construction and manufacturing industries are at greater risk of suffering on-the-job injuries than employees in other occupations. Among the most common causes of construction accidents and injuries are unsafe ladders and scaffolding. If you have been injured in this type of construction accident, the lawyers at our practice serving Brooklyn, New City, and Rockland County can help you obtain proper compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Falls from Ladders and Scaffolding
Falls account for 14% of all workplace accidents, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor. Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents can occur in almost any workplace, but ladder and scaffolding accidents are more likely to occur at construction sites than at other environments. Defective ladders or improperly assembled scaffolding are two of the most common causes of these tragic accidents.
Since falls from ladders and scaffolding often occur from high distances, they can cause significant personal injury, such as brain, spinal cord, or soft tissue injury. In addition, victims of ladder and scaffolding accidents are likely to miss significant time away from work and in some cases are not able to return at all.
We understand how difficult and uncertain life can be for victims and their families after a ladder or scaffolding accident. Our construction accident attorneys also understand the laws and nuances that can determine the level of compensation that you are eligible to receive if you are injured in this type of fall. We are committed to fighting on your behalf to help ensure that you receive the maximum amount possible to pay for hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
