Injuries Due To Unsafe Scaffolding
Experienced Manhattan Injury Lawyers Helping Injured Workers Recover
On a construction site, safety and protection should be the bottom line for everyone, from daily laborers to top management. When lives are at stake, the margin for error on the job site must be zero.
Federal safety regulations and New York scaffold laws are meant to protect construction workers. They require management to provide safety equipment for those working at elevation, such as secure scaffolding and safety harnesses, proper ladders, and hoists or cranes. And yet construction worker falls - and head and brain injuries from objects falling on workers - are among the more common, often fatal types of accidents.
If your family is dealing with the tragic and wrongful death of a family member from scaffolding fall injuries, don't assume it was the worker's fault. It could be that required safety equipment was missing on the job site, contributing to their fatal injuries.

Answering the Question: How Could This Happen?
On larger construction projects, several work crews will use the same scaffold. The actions of one crew could endanger the lives of another. Product defects can also play a role. Only a thorough investigation, such as that done by an experienced construction site accident lawyer, can get you the answers you need to understand how and why this tragedy happened.
- Was the scaffolding improperly assembled? Who was responsible for assembly?
- Was the work platform properly secured? Were there pieces missing?
- Was the scaffolding properly braced? Did a brace weld fail?
