According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), nearly 2 million construction workers work on scaffolding each year. And it is because of scaffolding that many construction accident happen. Each year, approximately 4,500 people are injured on the job because of scaffolding accidents.

At a construction site, scaffolding falls can cause both physical and mental problems such as brain injuries, head trauma, severe fractures, scarring, and disability. A professional construction accident lawyer will know the federal, Pennsylvania, or Philadelphia scaffolding laws in place that help protect the workers who endure an accident while on the job. If a contractor, construction site owner, or a similar third party does not rectify the problem immediately, a lawsuit can be issued in order to recover some of the financial losses endured as a result of this accident.

I am a Philadelphia construction accident lawyer who can help recover earnings for those involved in scaffolding falls. While victims may already be receiving workers’ compensation benefits, they are eligible for more compensation for their pain and suffering. Medical bills can be costly and one’s settlement should cover these costs as well as loss of wages.
