Scaffold Accidents and Injuries

Construction workers have one of the most dangerous occupations, with thousands of people killed on jobsites every year and many more injured. Some of the most common construction accidents involve scaffolds or other types of lifts. These accidents can be very serious and usually result either from falls due to defective scaffolding or from objects plummeting from scaffolding that injure a worker below.

Unfortunately, suits involving injured construction workers are often more difficult to handle than other kinds of personal injury cases. An injury or death at a construction site involves the acts of many workers employed by different companies, each of whom is pointing at someone else as the party responsible. The question of liability can depend on whether a party is the property owner, the general contractor, the subcontractor, or someone else. Pictures of the accident site are sometimes vital evidence to show the negligence of others.

Because of these complexities, it is vital to have a lawyer involved in a construction injury case ASAP. If you or a loved one has been injured on a construction site, contact our personal injury lawyers and let us go to work for you.
