What Is a Scaffolding Accident?
Scaffolding accidents can occur in a variety of ways. In some cases, workers are injured or killed when a scaffold collapses. In others, they are injured when they are struck by a falling object or when a tool or piece of equipment malfunctions. In all of these cases, a scaffolding accident is a preventable workplace injury.
To be eligible for compensation, you must be able to prove that the person or company responsible for the scaffolding accident was negligent.
Who Is Responsible for a Scaffolding Accident?
In most cases, a scaffolding accident will occur when a construction company hires a third-party contractor to build a scaffolding system. In this situation, the construction company is responsible for providing safe scaffolding. If a scaffolding accident occurs during the construction process, the contractor could be liable.
However, if the scaffolding accident occurs on a construction site that is owned and operated by the construction company, the company might be liable. Determining liability is another reason why it's imperative you consult with an Oakland scaffolding accident lawyer right away.

“Haley Law Offices is not only professional, experienced, and knowledgeable, but also extremely trustworthy and dedicated. Matt Haley and his son, Michael Haley, took my claim seriously and were both very attentive, diplomatic, and very helpful in settling my case. Katie, their paralegal, was also very timely and responsive whenever I had to get in touch with their office. I was originally researching for a law firm, and I had contacted Terry Buller. Terry, Matt, Michael, and Katie all worked together to create a most just claim, and we made it through the finish line with flying colors. They take no bull; no ifs, ands, or buts about it! Look no further when hiring a law firm. From start-to-finish, everything was transparent, respectful, organized, and well thought-through. I cannot thank Haley Law Offices enough! Thank you for protecting me and for supporting me throughout the entirety of this matter. Five stars? How about (10)!”- Alison M.
