Determining Liability in Scaffolding Mishaps

In most scaffolding accidents, multiple parties are liable for the victim's injuries. This is because scaffolding is typically used by multiple parties who may not be communicating with each other effectively.

The liable parties in a scaffolding accident may include:

• The scaffolding manufacturer
• The scaffolding installer
• The general contractor
• The construction site's property owner

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be able to sue one or all of these parties for damages.

If you were injured while on the job, your employer may also be responsible for your medical bills. In this case, your employer may file a workers' compensation claim to cover your medical expenses. However, this process may be difficult to navigate on your own. At Dugas Law Firm, we can help you file a workers' compensation claim and ensure that you receive the benefits you deserve.
