Scaffolds are an integral part of a construction project allowing workers to work at the properly designated height on the exterior of a structure. However, scaffolds often lead to serious accidents and injuries when not properly set up, maintained, and erected. The Brooklyn scaffold accident attorneys at the F&A injury law firm are action driven trial lawyers with a passion to prosecute construction accident lawsuits quickly through the court system to obtain maximum results.
Causes of Scaffold Accidents
- Poor scaffold erection, set up, and or construction.
- Workers using the wrong type of construction equipment for the job being performed including the wrong type of scaffolding or alternative to scaffolding when a scaffold is necessary
- Planking collapse or support collapse of the scaffold which may result from lack of safety practices and negligence
- Failure to install proper guardrails on the scaffold to prevent workers from falling
- Lack of construction safety devices & equipment (toeboards, guardrails, safety netting, lifelines, harnesses, etc)
