Common Causes of Scaffolding Accidents
Estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) have shown that scaffolding accidents cause thousands of injuries and dozens of deaths each year, most of which involve the planking or support giving way, falls from heights, or being struck by a falling object.
Other causes of scaffolding accidents include:
- Overloading
- Electrocution
- Faulty guardrails
- Lack of a guardrail
- Improper employee training
- Having to work in poor weather conditions
Those injured may qualify for either a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party personal injury lawsuit, depending on whether they were on the job at the time of the accident or were a passerby. Injured construction workers (like any employee in California) cannot sue their employers and, for compensation, must go through workers’ comp insurance. However, if a third party was responsible for the accident, a construction worker may have the right to sue that party.
