Scaffolds

Each year, there are approximately 50 fatalities and 4,500 injuries from scaffolds alone. In many cases, these accidents were the result of poorly constructed scaffolds. Plank slippage and support failures are also common causes of scaffold injuries.

Ladders

As a general rule-of-thumb, all ladders should be checked for steadiness before being used.  There are also other safety measures that can help workers who need to do their job from heights; these may include non-skid rungs and side guardrails.

Falls

Falls can happen anywhere – even on the ground level. Some of the most common places falls occur on construction sites and work areas include:

  • Roof tops
  • Poles
  • Holes in the floor
  • Stairways
  • Unstable walls
  • Thin or weak flooring
  • Griders

It is crucial to have guardrails, safety nets and fall arrest systems in place whenever a worker is doing a job at any height.

I am very thankful and appreciative for the wonderful job that The Barnes Firm has done for me with my auto accident. I think I was lucky to have Landon and Ali worked on my case. They were always available for me.

I was in a car accident and contacted, The Barnes Firm. I was transferred to an attorney right away. The attorney was very pleasant and helpful. He answered all my questions. He set up an appointment that same week. The attorney himself, came over to my home. He went over the paperwork and explained the procedure very thoroughly. The attorney’s paralegal contacted me right away. The office has been in touch with me and genuinely concerned about my injuries. This firm was on top of my case. I highly recommend them. Please call The Barnes Firm.

My attorney and his Assistant helped me through my injury case. It was a real pleasure having their legal advice available to me in a time when I couldn’t think straight or even figure out what to do after my accident injury.
