Many people are injured each year as a result of scaffolding collapses. In fact, scaffolding collapses account for a significant portion of overall construction accidents. Improper training, assembly, and maintenance can all result in serious personal injury and, in some circumstances, wrongful death.

Whether you are an injured worker, or injured while in the area of a scaffolding collapse, we have the skill and knowledge needed to ensure that the companies or individuals responsible for your personal injury are brought to justice.

Specific guidelines are in place for the proper assembly and dismantling of scaffolding equipment; however, these guidelines are often ignored, putting workers and the general public at risk. There is no justification for this type of neglect and, when it happens, those responsible should be accountable for their actions or inaction.
