Construction sites are inherently risky and due to the nature of the work many people are injured in a scaffolding accident each year. Scaffolding accidents also happen to bystanders such as people walking in the streets, or home owners having work carried out on their property.
If you are a construction worker or a bystander who has been injured in a scaffolding accident we can help you claim compensation for the pain and suffering and any costs caused by the accident. We have dealt with many injuries resulting from scaffolding accidents including:
A licence is required from the local council before a scaffold can be erected in a public area and it must be constructed by trained scaffolders. Builders must comply with strict regulations governed by the following legislation:
Concerns about claims against employers
If the scaffolding accident was caused by your employer’s negligence (e.g. failing to train staff properly), and you want to make a claim, you might be worried about possible repercussions. Any claim will be made against your employer’s insurance company and there will be no need for you to deal direct with your company. It is rare for an employer to victimise against an employee for making a claim and there are laws that protect employees from bullying and unfair treatment. We can discuss this with you in more detail if this is a concern.
By claiming compensation, you may help to prevent a similar accident happening again.
