Milford Scaffolding Accident Lawyer
Framingham Fall from Ladder Injury Attorney
An estimated 2.3 million construction workers frequently work on scaffolds, according to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). That's 65 percent of all U.S. construction employees. Scaffold-related accidents cause about 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year.
A ladder accident or a fall from scaffolding can cause serious injuries, including back injury, head injury, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and paralysis, as well as wrongful death.
