New York has a set of scaffolding laws that protect construction workers. These laws protect construction workers from falls and other injuries caused by scaffolds or ladders. According to the law, scaffolds must be sturdy enough to support at least four times the weight of the workers and the materials they’re carrying. Moreover, employers must comply with the law or risk being responsible for all injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages the injured party sustains.
To make a scaffolding case, you must prove that the construction site or the scaffolding failed to provide the safety necessary for the workers.
In addition, you must also prove that the site manager improperly maintained or provided the defective scaffolding. Our firm can help you file the claim and and get you compensated.
Suppose you are injured in a scaffolding accident. In that case, you can file a workers’ compensation claim to recover a portion of your lost wages. You should file your claim immediately after the accident, get medical treatment, and call an experienced personal injury lawyer.
The construction industry is responsibility for the safety of its workers as well as the citizens of NY.
Construction companies must implement a comprehensive safety program and have regular site inspections. It is also essential to understand the concept of “absolute liability.” This liability principle covers contractors, project owners, scaffold manufacturers, and installers. This liability means that the construction industry must meet specific standards to avoid accidents and failure to do so can result in their strict liability for the compensation you deserve.
