CAUSES OF SCAFFOLD ACCIDENTS

Most scaffold accidents are caused by poor maintenance or improper construction. Planking that gives way, missing safety parts and injuries caused by falling debris, constructional material or tools are common causes.

Companies responsible for the construction of scaffolds sometimes leave out key safety features of scaffolds which include:

Base plates and mud sills
Scaffold ties
Platform decking and toeboards
Guard rails and lock pins

OSHA REGULATIONS

There are strict OSHA regulations that control the use of scaffolds. Companies that violated OSHA regulations can be held responsible for the scaffold accident. To see OSHA regulations regarding scaffolds click HERE

Testimonials

Compassion, Understanding and Professionalism

In May 2009 I was in a car accident that was caused by a young women running a red light. The very next morning when I awoke I could not move the upper half of my body. I did not know what to do. I contacted a personal injury attorney, Hugh Howerton, and that was the best decision I made.

Mr. Howerton was very professional and was able to begin helping me with that first phone call. He was immediately on top of my case taking down all of the information and my statement and was able to refer me what type of doctor I should go see instead of wasting my time at some place that would not be able to help.

He guided me through the entire process with compassion, understanding and complete professionalism. He has years of experience in and out of the court room should your case go to trial as mine did. His experience paid off in the end and the jury’s verdict was very favorable for me.

I would recommend Hugh Howerton to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney for any reason.
