Arizona Scaffold Accident Attorneys
Attorney Representation in Phoenix Arizona Since 1996
Scaffolds that are improperly designed, erected, or secured lead to thousands of accidents each year. Many of these can be attributed to one or more mistakes by the people in charge of that construction site, so sorting out what went wrong and why is an essential first step. If you have been injured in a scaffold accident and cannot rely on worker's compensation to cover the full extent of your losses, you will want to work with an experienced Phoenix construction accident attorney.
Breyer Law Offices understand the issues that underlie an accident of this kind. One of the most common is when scaffolds are erected that are not up to code for a given height or weight load. Different construction protocols are mandated for different needs, and a number of scaffolds fail each year because they were improperly erected from the start. Some related issues that can lead to a scaffold accident include collisions with heavy equipment, inadequate safety devices, and poor construction. Still more accidents can arise when scaffolds are not correctly secured to the building that workers are repairing or building.
Most scaffold accidents are falls. Depending on the heights involved, scaffold falls can result in catastrophic injuries to the worker, and anyone in the vicinity below. Major head injuries can result in lingering cognitive problems, for instance, as well as headaches, depression, and reduced productivity. A scaffold fall can also result in paralysis, creating the need for lifelong care and levying a significant loss of income. Scaffold accidents can also lead to burns or electrical shocks if a worker makes contact with a dangerous surface, incurring major expenses in the process.
Worker's compensation will not take care of you for the rest of your life. Personal injury attorneys can help balance the scales and compensate you for the burdens ahead.
