Common Factors in Construction Scaffolding Accidents
While every case is different, there are several factors that are well-known to cause scaffolding accidents on construction sites. When you hire us for your case, one of our first steps will be to conduct a thorough investigation focused on identifying all of the parties that are responsible for your losses (in many cases there will be more than one).
Some of the key factors we look for include:
- Coworker negligence
- Failure to follow scaffolding safety standards
- Faulty scaffolding design
- Improper scaffolding construction
- Inadequate access to safety equipment and safety training
- Inadequate scaffolding maintenance
- Lack of proper fall protection
- Lack of proper protection from falling objects
