Scaffolding Injury Claims

As with all other types of jobs involving working at heights, scaffolding carries obvious risks. If you have suffered an injury whilst working on or around scaffolding, you may be entitled to make a scaffolding injury compensation claim.

Apart from falling from the scaffolding, there are other types of scaffolding accidents, that take place. These can be caused by;

  • poor maintenance,
  • incorrectly erected scaffolding or
  • failure to install safety barriers.

We are experts in scaffolding injury compensation and are able to deal with this type of accident at work claim for you, under a no win no fee agreement.

Can I make a scaffolding injury compensation claim?

It is the duty of the employer to ensure that preventative measures are in place to minimise the risk of falling off scaffolding or other types of accident occurring whilst working with scaffolding. The employer is responsible for carrying out risk assessments and adopting safety measures to prevent workers from being involved in scaffolding accidents. If your employer has failed in these duties, and you have suffered personal injury as a result, then you could be entitled to scaffolding injury compensation.

Our Experience with Scaffolding Injuries

Spencers helped a client secure a total of £1.3m in compensation when he suffered a serious head injury after a pole struck him on the head from the top of a scaffolding structure. After a thorough investigation, our complex injury solicitors obtained damages to compensate our client for the injuries he sustained, as well as ensuring that provision for his long-term care needs were met.

Why should I claim?

Falling from, or being hit by scaffolding can cause serious injuries which may take you a long time to recover from. You may be unable to work at a later stage if your injury becomes chronic and without adequate rest and specialist treatment, the injury could lead to additional damage.

If you have suffered a scaffolding injury that was not your fault then you are entitled to compensation which will include provisions to help pay for specialist medical treatment and ease the financial pressures from being unable to work, particularly if you are self-employed.
