When a scaffold collapses, there is often more than one company responsible. General contractors, subcontractors, scaffold installation crews, property owners, and equipment manufacturers may all play a role in creating unsafe conditions. These cases frequently involve third-party liability, especially when the collapse was caused by improper construction, defective scaffold components, unsafe jobsite coordination, or failure to follow basic safety standards. We conduct detailed investigations to identify every liable party and pursue full compensation for injured workers and their families.
Our attorneys handle scaffolding collapse cases involving falls from height, platform failures, structural collapses, falling tools and materials, and improper safety protections. Doug Gilman and Brent Allison have extensive experience representing injured workers across industrial, maritime, and construction environments where scaffolding is commonly used. When companies try to downplay what happened or shift blame onto the worker, we push back hard and build strong cases designed to recover compensation for medical costs, lost wages, long-term disability, and the full impact the injury has had on a person’s life.
