Scaffolding accidents do not only occur when someone falls from insecure building site frames, but can also take place if a scaffold pole, board or clamp falls from the structure or from a vehicle in which it is being transported.
In these cases there are two main types of personal injury victim, the first being an employee on a building site and the second being a road user travelling near a vehicle filled with scaffold parts.
If an individual is working on a site upon which scaffolding is utilised during construction, then they might be at risk of getting struck by an unstable piece of a scaffold structure. They may also be struck by an item as it falls from a container in which it is being kept or a surface it is being propped up against, for example.
Road users might suffer injuries from scaffold items if a vehicle driver transporting them on public roads has not securely fastened the poles, boards or clamps. This could result in one or more pieces falling from the vehicle, either causing an accident by landing directly on another vehicle or by leading to a driver having to take evasive action upon seeing the fallen load.
Negligence on the part of an employee or the employer in making sure that the health and safety procedures required of their role are undertaken correctly, could lead to an accident and a claim for a victim's pain, suffering and any resultant loss of earnings.
Not only could poor health and safety procedures cause a serious injury or death, and a compensation claim, the company could also be prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The HSE prosecutes many companies every year throughout the UK for breaching the Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
Individuals who are injured due to a lack of duty of care from those responsible for their welfare could be eligible for a damages settlement.
Victims should not shy away from claiming the money which is owed to them after an accident. Compensation could refund them for earnings lost during recovery, or potentially help them live more comfortably with a reduced quality of life.
