Scaffolding Accidents

Falls from scaffolding are a leading cause of serious injury and death in construction. Scaffolding must be properly erected, braced, and maintained, and workers must have fall protection. When scaffolding collapses, is improperly assembled, or lacks guardrails, the results can be devastating. Liability may fall on the employer, the contractor who erected the scaffold, or the property owner. OSHA and industry standards are often central to proving negligence.

Injuries from scaffolding falls often include broken bones, spinal cord damage, head trauma, and internal injuries. Recovery can be long and costly. Many victims cannot return to construction work. Building a case requires evidence of how the scaffold was built and maintained and whether safety rules were followed.

Pre-settlement funding for scaffolding accident cases helps you cover medical and living expenses while your claim is pending. You repay only from your settlement or verdict. That way you can focus on recovery and let your attorney secure full compensation.
