Scaffold accident collisions

Construction workers often have to use scaffolding in order to perform their work. New York’s Scaffold Law, Labor Law Section 240, requires building owners and general contractors to provide workers with proper scaffolds, harnesses, hoists and other safety equipment when working at an elevation. When a worker falls from scaffolding, or when scaffolding collapses, it can cause them life-altering injuries, such as head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and broken bones. New York Labor Law Section 240 protects workers injured while on scaffolds and provides the means for them to pay for medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering and other expenses. Labor Law Section 240, requires owners of buildings and general contractors to provide proper safety protection for all construction site workers that are involved in height related accidents.

Many scaffolds are constructed improperly without anybody on the construction site knowing until after an accident occurs. Any height related fall or falling object accident must be properly evaluated and investigated to determine whether or not the injured construction worker is covered by Labor Law Section 240 and entitled to monetary compensation.
