Scaffolding accident injuries can make life difficult—we can help

New York Labor Law 240 relates to injuries that occur in any workplace that requires workers to be at certain elevated heights. It is commonly called the "scaffolding law."

The law enables workers who fall from collapsed or poorly maintained scaffolding to recover damages from the responsible party, which may be the property owner, the general contractor, another contractor, or other individual. Labor Law 240 also covers objects that fall or are dropped from an elevated work surface and injure workers on the ground below. The law also protects workers who sustain injuries that occur due to ineffective or improper safety equipment such as harnesses.
