Construction workers in California frequently have to use scaffolding and ladders in order to perform their work. Unfortunately, when scaffolding collapses or when a worker falls from scaffolding, that worker may suffer catastrophic injuries with life-changing repercussions. Injured workers who have been harmed in scaffolding and ladder accidents require compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses; if you need a San Mateo scaffolding accident attorney call (650) 345-8484 or email us today.

It is a common assumption that a person harmed in a scaffolding accident is only able to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
