This depends on the circumstances of your case. If you are a construction worker and were injured in a scaffolding accident, you can seek compensation through a workers’ compensation claim against your employer’s insurance policy. If a third party was at-fault for the accident, for example, the company that erected the scaffolding, you may be able to recover compensation through a third-party lawsuit. This will help you recover full compensation for your accident.
Contact van der Veen, Hartshorn and Levin to schedule a consultation with an experienced scaffold injury attorney in Philadelphia, PA. We will review the circumstances of your case and explain your rights to you. We will help you go over your options and help you determine the best approach to take in pursuing compensation for your injuries and losses.

Employers and site owners have a responsibility to their employees. While construction sites are inherently dangerous places to work, employers are required to ensure that the site is reasonably safe. This means carrying out risk assessments and implementing safety processes and measures to ensure the safety of their employees.
If you were an employee injured in a scaffolding accident, you can seek compensation from your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy. You can also hold third parties such as contractors on the site and manufacturers liable for your accident through a third-party lawsuit.
Contact our law firm to work with an experienced Philadelphia scaffolding accident lawyer. We will explore all options to help you maximize your financial recovery.
-
Yes. Workers' compensation may cover medical bills and a portion of lost wages, but it does not provide compensation for pain and suffering or the full extent of lost income. If a third party was involved, such as a contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner, you may be able to file a separate third party claim. This additional claim can significantly increase the compensation available. An experienced scaffolding accident attorney can help identify all responsible parties and pursue all possible avenues for recovery.
-
Scaffolding accidents often result from defective materials, improper installation, lack of fall protection, unsecured platforms, contact with live wires or power lines, poor weather conditions, inadequate training, insufficient supervision, or dangerous surface conditions such as cracked or slippery flooring. OSHA violations frequently play a major role in scaffolding accidents. An attorney can investigate the site, review safety records, and consult experts to determine exactly how the accident occurred and who should be held responsible.
