Falls from scaffolding can cause devastating injuries for construction workers and their families. A serious scaffold accident can lead to emergency medical care, time away from work, long-term pain, and uncertainty about what comes next. Edward R. Young & Associates represents injured construction workers throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, West Babylon, and surrounding New York communities.
Scaffold accident cases often involve unique legal issues under New York's Scaffold Law, which provides important protections for many construction workers injured in elevation-related accidents. Determining how the accident occurred and who may be legally responsible requires a prompt investigation and careful review of the facts.
Scaffold falls may result from unstable platforms, missing guardrails, defective equipment, falling materials, inadequate fall protection, or other unsafe working conditions. Edward R. Young & Associates works to preserve evidence, document injuries, identify responsible parties, and build a strong claim on behalf of injured workers.

Construction workers injured in scaffold accidents may have legal rights beyond workers' compensation. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, claims may involve property owners, contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or other responsible parties.
Because evidence can disappear quickly after a construction accident, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
