Scaffolding Accidents
Scaffolding Accidents
Scaffolding accidents are a common occurrence in the construction industry. Many of them result in temporary or permanent disability. The cost of medical care and lost wages can be significant, and victims of scaffolding injuries in NY may require specialized legal assistance.
Our team of dedicated NY scaffolding accident attorneys at Aronova and Associates can help individuals who have suffered injury and lost wages as a result of scaffolding accidents.
According to The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65% of construction workers use scaffolds on a regular basis. In 2009, 54 people died in scaffolding accidents in the U.S. and each year there are 4,500 scaffolding accident injuries, many of which are due to negligence. Faulty equipment is a common cause of scaffolding accidents in NY, and many workers attribute their injuries to planking giving way or being struck by falling objects.
Injured employees may be entitled to workers compensation or disability payments. New York State Law prohibits an employee from directly suing their employers. Instead, victims of scaffold accident injuries can sue third parties.
Third parties who may be liable for construction accident injuries include:
- Property Owners
- General Contractors
- Sub-Contractors
- Architects
- Equipment Manufacturers
- Liability in a scaffolding accident
A New York construction accident lawyer can help an injured employee establish a claim for Workers’ Compensation and additional damages, including pain and suffering. If your employer is liable for those damages, a New York scaffolding accident attorney can help you obtain compensation.
