Our personal injury lawyer has experience handling construction scaffolding accidents. If in the Miami area, contact our office at 305 720 2086.

Construction accidents involving scafolding are generally covered under the workers compensation statute if occured during the course and scope of employment. Such accidents may also give rise to an additional thirdy party claim depending on the cause. These claims may, however, be barred by horizontal or vertical privity of the tort immunity section of the law.

This can be very comlicated and it is best to consult with a legal professional to discuss potential claims for loss wages and medical benefits.

Today, many construction accidents occur because inadequate safety measures are instituted on scaffolds. Scaffolds tend to create some of the most severe injuries in the construction industry because of the relative height of fall a worker would be subject in an accident.
