Los Angeles Scaffolding Accident Attorney

About Scaffolding Accidents and Injuries

A scaffolding accident may occur as a result of defective scaffolding, such as planking or support giving way under the victim's weight, or due to a construction worker slipping or being struck by a falling object. A worker or visitor at a construction site on the ground may also be injured in the event that scaffolding collapses. In any type of scaffolding-related accident, a victim may be at risk of sustaining catastrophic injuries: broken bones, spinal cord injury, severe head trauma, brain injury, lacerations, and more.

Preventing Scaffolding Accidents

Scaffolding accidents can be prevented when a construction site is fully in compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) standards. Part of a construction company's obligation is to provide a place of employment that is free from "recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm…" Unfortunately, not all construction sites are in compliance with California State and Federal regulations. When this is the case, workers and visitors to the site or even passersby are far more likely to be injured in a scaffolding accident.
