Massachusetts Scaffolding Accident Attorneys
If you or a loved one has suffered any injuries because of a scaffolding collapse, you might be entitled to receive money for your injury. Scaffolding is used as a temporary platform that is erected to help people build buildings and to be able to work higher off the ground. Scaffolds are also used to assist people in performing building maintenance and repairs. Since scaffolding is designed to hold a lot of weight, it often is made of thick lumber and steel.
Our scaffolding collapse attorneys are helping clients by bringing defective product liability claims on behalf of victims and their families across the United States. We represent every scaffolding collapse client on a contingent fee basis, meaning there are absolutely no legal fees or costs unless you recover money.

Scaffolding Collapse Accident?
Millions of construction workers, window washers, painters and even building maintenance personnel have to work on top of and under scaffolding every day. Because of this, they are at risk if the scaffolding collapses. It is because of these dangers that the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) sets certain safety standards in the design, building, maintenance and use of scaffolding. These standards are in place to ensure that people can avoid common safety hazards that scaffolding presents. Here are some common safety problems with scaffolding:
- Faulty design that can cause a scaffolding collapse accident
- Faulty wiring
- Weak metal and lumber used when building
- Poor maintenance and failure to perform maintenance
- Falling debris
- Overloading

One report states that as many as 72 percent of workers that become injured in a scaffold collapse claimed that their accidents were caused by such things as the planking or the support beneath them giving way, and from workers falling or being hit by falling debris.
