Scaffold and Ladder Accidents

Contact John Morrissey to discuss your scaffolding or ladder accident claim.

Construction workers who fall from scaffolding or ladders often suffer serious injuries, such as brain injuries or spinal cord injuries, and in extreme situations, the fall may be fatal. We have a great deal of experience with OSHA and Massachusetts safety regulations under which construction sites are governed. We understand how to investigate safety regulation violations, secure evidence and witnesses from the construction site and develop a case strategy for a client to obtain adequate compensation for their injuries.

• Scaffolding accidents: Was the scaffolding erected properly? Was the scaffolding erected by a third party? Were there defects in the scaffolding components causing the scaffolding to collapse? Were proper guardrails or safety features in place?
• Ladder accidents: Was the ladder set up properly? Was the ladder level? Did the ladder have defective parts? Did the ladder fall from the scaffolding? Did a subcontractor or other third-party knock over or damage the ladder?

Our comprehensive approach to scaffold and ladder accident cases allows us to maximize financial recovery for injured construction workers or families of construction workers who have died on the job. We handle all aspects of our clients’ wrongful death suit, workers’ compensation and social security disability claims their potential personal injury claims, and product liability claims against all negligent parties.
