What Happens If I’m Injured Falling From Scaffolding
- Many people who work at construction sites get seriously injured when the fall from a scaffold.
- Usually scaffolds are erected by workers on the jobsite and often times it may not be the best type of a scaffolding.
- If they fall from the scaffolding, it is irrelevant that they may have helped to erect the scaffold unless they did something that solely caused the accident.
- If you are not the sole reason for the accident, the labor law of the State of New York will protect the worker and those are the types of cases I often handle.
