White Plains Attorney Handling Scaffolding Accident and Ladder Fall Cases

Any time a construction worker is working high up on scaffolding or on a ladder, there is always the potential for danger. New York labor laws require certain types of safety measures to be implemented on sites where scaffolding and ladders will be used, such as harnesses, hard hats and safety vests. Unfortunately, these do not always prevent accidents from happening.

Our staff at The Law Offices of Michael H. Joseph PLLC provides qualified personal injury and construction accident representation to clients who have been injured in a scaffolding accident (including scaffolding collapses and falls) or ladder fall. These situations can be very serious and lead to permanent injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and broken or crushed bones. Scaffold accident and ladder fall cases are confidently handled by attorney Michael Joseph who has years of experience representing injured clients in and out of court. Contact our office today for more information about your rights and options.

Scaffolding Accidents

Scaffolding is a very common on a construction site. However, if the scaffolding is not properly constructed, secured or maintained, it can collapse, leaving workers falling to the ground below. Workers may also fall from even properly-assembled scaffolding, receiving very serious injuries as a result.

Ladder Falls

Some jobs do not require scaffolding, but may instead be done on a ladder. Even though falls may occur from just a few feet in the air, serious injuries can result. Ladder falls are tragically common, as ladders are often not as secure as they should be, sometimes placed on uneven or unstable surfaces. A worker reaching for a tool or who is distracted for just a moment could suffer a life-changing injury in a fall.

You have a right to pursue compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses if someone else's negligence caused you to be injured in a scaffolding accident or ladder fall. Contact our offices today and schedule an appointment with attorney Michael Joseph. We offer a free initial consultation, and there is no fee unless you win.
