Who Is Liable for a Scaffolding Accident?
Determining liability in a scaffolding accident case can be complex. Potential parties liable for such accidents may include:
- Scaffolding companies: If the scaffolding was improperly erected, maintained, or inspected, the company may be held responsible.
- Construction companies: A company that fails to provide adequate safety measures or supervision could be liable.
- Contractors: Those responsible for scaffolding installation and maintenance may be held accountable for unsafe practices.
- Equipment manufacturers: If a defective scaffold or component is found to have caused the accident, manufacturers can be liable for injuries.
