Take Action Against Negligence
Many construction workers use scaffolding every day at their work site.
Scaffolding can be extremely dangerous if it is not set up properly. If
you have been
injured in a fall from scaffolding or from collapsed scaffolding, you should contact an
experienced Brooklyn scaffolding accident lawyer as soon as possible.
Scaffolding is an intricate system of tubes, couplers, and boards that
are fastened to a structure. Scaffolding can be used on the interior or
exterior of a building and varies in height and width. There are specific
requirements for scaffolding in order for it to be safe for the workers
that use it. There are specific height, strength, and safety requirements
that must be followed, such as toe boards and guard rails. Furthermore,
there must be an adequate foundation for the scaffolding to be built upon.

Scaffolding Injuries
Falls from heights are the most common deadly
construction accident. Construction workers who are on scaffolding are usually doing all of
their work from a high elevation off the ground. If proper safety measures
are not in place, there is a high probability that the employee could
fall off of the scaffolding. Falls from scaffolding result in broken bones,
head trauma,
paralysis, and even
death. If you have been injured because of a fall from scaffolding, we can help
you learn more about your legal rights.
If scaffolding is not built with proper materials and a proper foundation,
there is a chance that it could collapse. A scaffolding collapse is extremely
dangerous because the workers who are on the scaffolding will sustain
injuries from the fall as well as injuries from being struck by scaffolding.
Collapsed scaffolding can be extremely heavy and could pin someone underneath
the scaffolding, causing
serious injury or death. If you have been hurt because scaffolding collapsed, you should
contact one of the Manhattan scaffolding accident attorneys at a Brooklyn
construction accident law firm.
Scaffolding Accidents
When scaffolding is not built properly or used properly, there is a chance
that a piece of the scaffolding or a piece of equipment on the scaffolding
could fall off and strike someone on the ground. If you were a worker
who was struck by a falling piece of scaffolding at your job site or you
were a passer-by who was injured by a falling piece of scaffolding, you
may have a claim to
compensate you for your injuries. If you have been injured by another person’s negligence in building
and maintaining scaffolding, you should speak with an experienced Brooklyn
scaffolding accident lawyer as soon as possible.
