Scaffolding Accident Lawyer | Yonkers, NY

While scaffolding is an essential construction tool, it can also be the cause of many catastrophic and fatal injuries. Falls and dropped items can wreak havoc on people on or around scaffolding, and at-fault parties should pay for the harm they cause. The best way to assert your rights and obtain compensation after suffering an injury is to seek help from an experienced Yonkers Scaffolding accident lawyer. Greenspan & Greenspan Injury Lawyers is an award-winning legal team, and we have recovered millions for personal injury victims.

The Dangers of Scaffolding

Each month, several people die because of falls from scaffolding. Also, a considerable number of people have died from being struck by objects falling from construction sites. If an individual doesn’t die from a falling object or fall, they might suffer a serious injury, such as the following:

  • Broken bones,
  • Spine injuries,
  • Traumatic brain injuries,
  • Internal trauma, and
  • Deep cuts and tears.

If you sustain an injury in a scaffolding accident, seek medical attention immediately. Immediate care can help you recover faster while also establishing and documenting the cause of your injuries.

After calling a doctor, your next call should be to an experienced Yonkers scaffold accident attorney. We can handle the details of your case and obtain the compensation you deserve.

Your Right to Compensation in a Scaffolding Accident Case

You have a right to receive damages from any party who negligently or intentionally hurts you in a scaffolding accident. The types of payments you can receive include the following:

  • Compensation for financial losses, such as medical expenses, property repair or replacement costs, earning capacity and wage losses, and any other out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident;
  • Payment for your pain and suffering; and
  • Punitive damages to punish an at-fault party whose accident-related conduct was egregious.

Proving your right to each type of damage payment can be a daunting, fact-intensive task. However, when you have a skilled Yonkers scaffolding accident attorney from our team by your side, we can take on this hard work for you and maximize your damages.

Seeking Damages for Your Losses

You can obtain payment for your losses after a scaffolding accident by submitting a claim to the at-fault party’s insurance carrier or filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party. And if you sue the at-fault party, their insurance carrier might be at the helm of defending them in court.

Making an Insurance Claim

Every case is different, but starting your case with an insurance claim is often a good way to go. The insurance carrier can begin paying for your medical expenses, lost wages, and property repairs right away. When the carrier believes your case is close to over, they will likely offer you money to settle and close your claim for good.

Whether you are seeking coverage for your immediate expenses or a payout for all your needs, you should have an attorney handle your insurance claim. Our experienced team at Greenspan & Greenspan Injury Lawyers knows how to overcome insurance company strategies that could diminish your losses or deny coverage.

Filing a Civil Lawsuit

Many personal injury victims file lawsuits against at-fault parties because an insurer denied some or all coverage or didn’t offer enough in a settlement. You can start your lawsuit by submitting a complaint to the court and serving that complaint and a summons on the at-fault party. During the litigation process, you must gather and share evidence with the at-fault party and present your evidence and arguments at a trial. You can also revisit settlement negotiations while waiting for trial. Once a trial is pending, the insurance company might be willing to put up a better offer.

Whatever route you choose to resolve your case, a Yonkers scaffolding injury attorney from our firm can handle the matter for you and bring you the best outcome.

Time Limit for Scaffolding Injury Cases

Scaffold injury victims typically have only three years to file a lawsuit. But before you jump into litigation, you want to make sure you know the full extent of the following:

  • Your accident-related injuries and how much they will cost to treat;
  • Any permanent impairment and how it will affect your ability to enjoy life and earn money;
  • Your past, present, and future wage losses; and
  • The cost to repair or replace any property damaged in the accident.

You can give yourself a good idea of your needs by talking with healthcare providers, keeping up your healthcare treatments, and receiving estimates for property repair. And when you have an experienced attorney from our firm to guide you, all you have to worry about is getting well—we can handle the rest and file your case on time.

Gathering Evidence for Your Claim

Having strong evidence to prove the other party’s fault and your losses in a scaffolding injury case is crucial to your success. Evidence you might need to show the insurance company or court could include:

  • Medical records,
  • Job history records,
  • Accident reports,
  • Photographs,
  • Wage records,
  • Invoices and receipts,
  • Recordings, and
  • Witness testimony.

We can gather this evidence on your behalf and present it in the most favorable light for you. With help from an attorney at Greenspan & Greenspan Injury Lawyers, you can win the most compensation available to you.
