Scaffolding Accidents

Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Lawyer Handing Scaffolding Injury Claims

Construction sites are busy, dangerous places. Heavy equipment surrounds workers at all times. People and supplies are constantly coming and going. Working at heights is often a requirement. It is no surprise that accidents are common.

New Jersey Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney

Even with safety measures in place, equipment safety is never 100% guaranteed. A scaffolding injury can happen when a construction worker least expects it, leaving him or her facing an uncertain future.

If you or a loved one suffered a scaffolding injury in a construction accident, you may have options to obtain compensation. A workers' compensation claim can be filed to cover medical bills and lost wages. However, only a personal injury suit brought against a third party can result in financial recovery for the pain and distress you've endured.

Factors Contributing to a Scaffolding Injury

On a construction site, danger potentially exists around every corner. However, those who work on scaffolds are at a much higher risk of suffering a debilitating injury due to the sheer height they work at and can potentially fall from.

Many factors can lead to a serious scaffolding injury, including:

• A poorly or improperly constructed scaffold
• Defective scaffolding parts or design
• Failure of support mechanisms or collapses
• Slippery scaffolding surfaces
• A lack of safety training
• Failure to use proper safety equipment

As your legal representatives, we carefully examine the details of your scaffolding injury and how it occurred. We look to hold negligent parties, including site owners, general contractors and equipment manufacturers, responsible for their negligent actions.
