Scaffolding Accident Claims
It is widely recognised that construction sites can be areas of extreme danger. However, many health and safety laws are in place to ensure that you are kept as safe as possible whilst working on site. If you are injured in a scaffolding accident, we can advise you whether you can make a claim for compensation. If you can, we can also help you to make the claim and ensure that you keep all of your compensation.
Your Employer's Duty
There are specific scaffolding regulations which your employer must follow or face criminal action. Whilst these alone do not provide you with the right to claim, your employer has a general duty to ensure that you are kept safe. Therefore, if you are injured as a result of faulty scaffolding, or incorrectly put together scaffolding, you will be able to make a claim either against your employer, or the company that put the scaffolding together on site.
Types of Scaffolding Accident
There are various types of scaffolding accident, the most common ones include:
- scaffolding collapsing
- scaffolding planks giving way
- items dropping from scaffolding or building works above causing injury
- people falling from the scaffolding
