Identifying Who Can Be Held Legally Accountable for the Worker InjuryIf you’ve been injured in a fall from a scaffold or ladder, there are a number of different parties who may be considered legally responsible for your injuries. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, compensation may be available from the following:
- Propery owners can, in some cases, be held responsible for failing to properly oversee dangerous scaffolding and ladders on their property.
- Manufacturers and vendors of scaffolds and ladders are legally responsible for any defects in the design or manufacture of their equipment.
- Contractors and subcontractors are liable under personal injury law when their negligence causes injuries to employees of other contractors on the site.
