How We Can Help

Hiring a lawyer from Fiedler Deutsch, LLP can help you obtain maximum compensation for a ladder accident. This is important due to the fact that these accidents are often serious and can involve significant medical bills or a lifelong need for treatment and therapy. You may have to give up your career in construction due to a ladder fall. If you settle for a lowball amount from an insurer, you may not receive the money you need to pay for a lifetime of related costs. The lawyers at Fiedler Deutsch, LLP will not stop fighting for you until you receive the maximum compensation you deserve – even if that means pursuing a judgment award at trial.

Why Do Ladder Falls Occur?

Ladder falls are common accidents, especially in the construction industry. Every year, workplace accident data shows thousands of injuries from ladder accidents treated in emergency rooms. If you fell from a ladder while working in construction in New York, discuss your rights with a personal injury lawyer at Fiedler Deutsch, LLP. We can help you determine the cause of your ladder fall.

Some common causes include:

• Poorly maintained equipment
• Dilapidated ladder
• Shifting or moving ladder
• Ladder defect from the manufacturer or distributor
• Lack of construction worker training
• Lack of personal protection equipment
• Slippery or greasy floors
• Negligent coworker

Depending on who or what caused your ladder fall, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim in New York. New York offers special protections for workers who fall from a height such as off of a ladder, and holds owners and general contractors responsible for these accidents as they are the ones legally responsible for worker safety.  We will begin your case with a comprehensive review of the facts of your ladder fall, so we can present you with your best legal options.

What Are Your Rights After a Ladder Fall?

Falling from a ladder at work can cause serious injuries such as broken bones, sprains and strains, dislocations, skull fractures, head and brain injuries, concussions, spinal cord injuries, neck and back injuries, and lacerations. You may suffer a permanent disability in a ladder fall at a construction site.  A successful claim could reimburse you for many past and future losses associated with your fall.
