Ladders are a staple of the construction world. In a given day, a construction worker may go up and down a ladder a hundred times. What they might not realize, though, is that ladders must be kept up-to-date and in good condition so as to ensure the safety of those using them. Sometimes, employers will allow ladders to fall into disrepair as a way to cut corners financially. Employers must also adhere to strict guidelines regarding the safe and proper use of a ladder. Since it’s sometimes quicker to ignore these guidelines, a supervisor may allow a ladder to be used in a hazardous way. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a fall from a ladder you are entitled to receive the best medical attention as well as compensation for your time missed from work and for your pain and suffering.
Was your injury a result of a ladder which:
- Had accumulated dirt or other loose material, making for uneven surfaces?
- Was used near electrical equipment, causing electrocution?
- Had missing rungs, steps, or cleats?
- Was overloaded with weight?
- Exhibited broken pieces, splinters, or loose screws?
- Had its breaks repaired hastily? (Ex: with tape)
- Was used on uneven ground?
- Was used horizontally as a sort of makeshift foot bridge?
