Scaffolding Accident Attorney in Los Angeles

For those people who are injured in a scaffolding accident, it is important that you speak with a Los Angeles lawyer to understand your legal rights.  Our attorneys will discuss with you what compensation you can seek to recover, and we will guide you through the legal process so you can focus on recovering from your scaffolding accident.

Scaffolding accidents are so common that it has been estimated that nearly 65% of construction workers frequently work on construction site scaffolding.  This large percentage of construction workers accounts for over 2 million workers who can suffer a scaffolding accident.  Scaffolding is so commonly used because it offers a temporary method of reaching parts of the construction site without having to rely upon a ladder.

Of these millions of construction workers who use scaffolding each year, various studies have reported that about 70% of all people who were injured in scaffolding accidents resulted in a scaffolding plank or a scaffolding support coming loose or giving way.  This would cause the construction worker falling to the ground or hitting the various scaffolding supports on the way down resulting in additional injuries.  Scaffolding injuries also resulted from an employee slipping or being hit by a falling object which results in their scaffolding accident.

These Los Angeles scaffolding accidents are clearly a result of negligence as they should not occur if the construction sites and the construction workers were following OSHA standards.  Therefore, while most of these scaffolding accidents could be prevented by proper training and adequate preventative safety measures, when they do occur, it is important to speak with a Los Angeles scaffolding accident lawyer who can assist you in recovering for your injuries suffered in the scaffolding accident.
