Types of Scaffolding Accidents
Scaffolding accidents typically involve one of the following:
- Scaffold collapse (too much weight on the scaffold or faulty construction)
- Falls from a scaffold (scaffolding lacked stability or safety protection)
- Electrocution (scaffolding is too close to power lines)
- Struck by falling debris (items dropped from a scaffold)
Types of Ladder Accidents
- Ladder collapse (too much weight on the ladder or a defective ladder)
- Falls from ladders (ladder not secure or on an unstable surface)
- Electrocution (ladder too close to electric lines)
- Struck by a falling object (item dropped while up the ladder or from a ledge the ladder is resting against)
Construction accident involving a scaffolding or ladder accident can result in broken bones, head injury, spinal cord injury and other serious injury or wrongful death. In New York, Section 240 of the Labor Code may provide you with an additional source of compensation aside from workers compensation, if you qualify. That is why it is important to discuss your claim with an attorney who understands construction law, Section 240 claims, and your injuries.
