Common Causes of Scaffolding Accidents

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) reports that 4,500 scaffold-caused injuries and 60 scaffold-related deaths occur annually.

OSHA studies further reveal that 72 percent of scaffolding-related injuries in the construction industry happen as a result of the worker slipping, an object falling, or the plank giving way.

The most common scaffolding accidents are:

  • Worker slips and falls from the scaffolding
  • Scaffolding is improperly installed
  • Worker did not use safety equipment (harnesses and/or ropes)
  • Objects, like tools, or construction material falls from the scaffolding
  • Scaffolding is faulty or defective

In the above example causes, several individuals and entities stand out as potentially at fault for the scaffolding accident and liable for an individual’s injuries.

This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

What To Do After Your Scaffolding Accident

It is safe to say that your scaffolding accident took place as you were doing your job. In this event, you have a couple of options for how to proceed in your pursuit of compensation: workers’ compensation and/or personal injury claim or lawsuit.

Regardless of your approach, keep the following tips in mind as you move forward.

Notify your employer of your accident.

If you are going to proceed with a workers’ compensation claim, you have only 30 days from the date of your accident within which to let file an accident report with your employer. Failing to do so could put your workers’ compensation claim at risk.

Do not talk to anyone about your accident.

Even the most seemingly casual mention of a detail could derail your attempts to recover damages via an insurance company, your company, and/or a judge or jury.

Take pictures of the accident scene.

Also, glance around the area to check for surveillance video cameras that might have captured the accident on video.

Seek out witnesses.

Construction zones are teeming with workers. Perhaps you noticed someone in your area on the date of your accident. Seek him/her and other potential witnesses and ask for their contact information.

Get medical attention for your injuries.

Whether you think you need to or not, a trip to the doctor is a good idea. You might be injured in ways that will not manifest for days or weeks following your accident. It is a good idea to have a doctor check you out and look for signs of hidden injuries that only a medical pro how to identify. Furthermore, the doctor’s record of your visit will serve you well as evidence as we calculate your damages.
