Get an Aggressive Stairway Collapse Lawyer to Win Your Case
Unstable scaffolding and temporary stairs are just a few of the many hidden dangers present on construction job sites. A stairway collapse can create serious injury and in some cases death. Frequently stairs on construction job sites are built floor by floor and are employed as a means of temporary passage to get from floor to floor while working on a construction project. Building stairs in such haste often can result in the incomplete use of proper safety mechanisms, such as hand rails, and proper weight support beams. This is very dangerous given the fact that the temporary staircase is used by many construction workers several times a day while carrying heavy equipment and tools. When a construction worker falls owing to a failure of the stairway structure or as a result of inadequate safety measure being used, the results can be devastating. In some cases, a worker can fall several stories and, as a result, experiences severe and grave injuries such as broken bones, nerve damage, muscle damage, paralysis, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injury.
OSHA Violations
Contractors and companies are responsible for maintaining safety on construction work sites. Companies are obligated by law to abide by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) at all times. By not implementing safe, secure, and stable stairways companies open themselves up to liability when an injury happens and are seen as negligent, careless, and reckless in the eyes of jurors. Workers injured as a result of a stairway collapsing on the job should contact a dedicated and determined personal injury attorney to get the compensation that they deserve. The claim for damages in an accident involving a collapsing staircase injury may include surgical costs, medical treatments, emergency room visits, lost wages, vocational rehabilitation, and money for pain and suffering.
