Ladders, scaffolds and working from heights are all special dangers of working in construction. The dangers come in all forms: extension ladders, A-frame ladders, and others, all of which can slip, tip or collapse. Ladders can break, rungs can fail and the set-up or workplace itself can be improper or dangerous.
Ladders and scaffolds and working at heights can all be covered by the Labor Law and other statutes. Landlords and contractors can be held legally responsible to pay your damages.
Edward R. Young & Associates recently successfully took on Con Edison and others for a fall from a ladder by a painter who died as a result of the fall.
