Improperly Assembled Scaffolding and Construction Site Accidents
Helping Injured Construction Workers Since 1981
Few circumstances pose a more dangerous threat to construction workers' safety than unsafe scaffolding. Once a scaffolding is assembled, dozens or even hundreds of workers may climb it daily. One error, made hours, days or weeks ago, can eventually lead to serious injuries or wrongful death when the scaffolding fails.
The New York construction accident attorneys of The Orlow Firm have handled thousands of personal injury cases since firm lawyer Steve Orlow founded our firm nearly 30 years ago. We are committed to protecting clients' rights following scaffolding accidents, and have recovered significant awards for injured construction workers both through negotiated settlements and jury verdicts.
For experienced legal counsel following scaffolding accidents and other construction site accidents, contact The Orlow Firm. Call 866-959-7202.
Following injuries at a construction site in a scaffolding accident, we can conduct a full investigation, then use our combined six plus decades of personal injury experience to pursue the compensation you need and deserve. We can help when scaffold injuries occur due to:
- Unsecured connections
- Defects
- Toppling when built on uneven or soft ground
- Lack of safety rails and other safety features
- Assemblage by untrained employees
New York Scaffolding Laws Protect Injured Workers
Under New York Labor Law 240(1), all contractors and owners, except for owners of one and two family dwellings who contract for work but do not oversee the work, are strictly liable for injuries to workers in scaffolding accidents. These legal protections give workers injured in scaffolding accidents extra protections outside of workers' compensation.
