Unsafe & Faulty Ladder Accidents in Los Angeles

Ladders continue to be one of the most important pieces of construction equipment used on a construction site.  Ladders have recently been replaced by scaffolding, but ladders are more manageable and may be moved quickly around a job site, and are more convenient in enclosed areas.  Ladders continue to be one of the easiest methods for a construction worker to move and work on various heights of a job, where the ladders may be built out of wood, steel or carbon fiber.  While each ladder is made of different types of materials, where some are designed to prevent electrocution, and others are designed to hold different weights.  As people can be seriously injured from these ladder fall accidents, you should speak with a construction accident attorney in Los Angeles.

It has also been determined that there are approximately 1,000 construction workers who are killed each year, where nearly 300 of those construction workers are killed by falls from defective ladders or damaged step-ladders.  With this large number of construction fall accidents, it is important to always inspect all equipment used on a job site, especially ladders.
