Scaffolding Collapse
Because scaffolding is used on a temporary basis, it is sometimes poorly constructed. The quick installation of scaffolding may compromise its structural stability, which, in turn, may compromise safety. Accidents related to scaffolding occur quite frequently, and are typically the result of negligence.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a scaffolding accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Contact the Austin personal injury lawyer Vic Feazell today by calling 877-948-4842 to schedule a free consultation.
Scaffolding Hazards
Scaffolding accidents can cause serious injury and even death to innocent bystanders or construction workers. Common scaffolding accidents involve:
- Collapse: In many instances, scaffolding is poorly supported and may collapse randomly, causing serious injury to workers who were on the scaffolding, and potentially to innocent bystanders walking underneath the scaffolding.
- Falling objects: If an object falls off of a scaffolding platform, it may hit someone below. Many tools, such as hammers or drills, are quite heavy and could inflict serious harm if they strike an individual.
Additionally, scaffolding may pose an increased safety risk during adverse weather conditions, such as rain or high winds, which may cause a worker to lose their footing, tools to blow off, or a joint to break.
