Chicago Scaffolding Injury Lawyer
Chicago Scaffolding Injury Lawyer
The construction industry is an essential component of our society, yet it remains one of the most hazardous professions. Safety on construction sites is not just a priority; it is a necessity. Despite stringent regulations and safety protocols, scaffolding-related accidents continue to occur with alarming frequency. These accidents can lead to severe injuries, disrupting lives and livelihoods. At Saks, Robinson & Rittenberg, Ltd., our Chicago scaffolding injury lawyer is acutely aware of the far-reaching consequences of these incidents. Our commitment is to stand beside injured workers, helping them navigate the complex legal landscape to secure the compensation they deserve.
Understanding Scaffolding Injuries
Scaffolding injuries can vary significantly in their severity. Minor injuries might include cuts or bruises, but more serious cases can result in debilitating conditions such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries or even paralysis. Each year, thousands of construction workers are affected by these injuries, with many facing long-term health issues. Understanding the types of injuries and their causes is crucial for prevention and effective legal action.
Causes and Severity of Scaffolding Accidents
The causes of scaffolding accidents are multifaceted. Often, these accidents result from negligence, inadequate safety measures or defective equipment. Slippery surfaces, poorly assembled scaffolds and lack of proper safety training are common contributing factors. Falling objects and electrocution from nearby power sources further compound the risks. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls remain one of the leading causes of fatalities in the construction industry, underscoring the urgent need for rigorous safety practices.
These accidents not only cause physical harm but can also lead to financial and emotional distress for victims and their families. The severity of these incidents demands comprehensive legal intervention to help victims seek appropriate compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and rehabilitation costs.
Your Legal Rights and Compensation Options
Injured workers in the construction industry have specific legal rights designed to protect them and provide avenues for compensation. Workers’ compensation is a primary route, offering benefits for medical expenses and a portion of lost wages. However, if negligence by a third party, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, is involved, additional legal claims may be pursued.
At Saks, Robinson & Rittenberg, Ltd., we identify all potential sources of compensation. Our experienced attorneys meticulously investigate each case, uncovering negligence and holding responsible parties accountable. We pride ourselves on our thorough approach so that every client receives personalized attention.Â
