Legal Help After Scaffolding Accidents in Everett
Workers rely on scaffolding to perform their jobs safely at elevated heights. When this equipment is improperly installed, maintained, or supervised, a collapse can cause catastrophic injury—or worse. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, we represent injured workers and their families across Everett and Snohomish County, fighting to hold negligent parties accountable and help victims rebuild their lives.
What Causes Scaffolding Collapses?
Scaffolding accidents rarely happen by chance—they are almost always preventable. Common causes of scaffolding collapses include:
- Improper assembly or setup: Failing to follow OSHA standards or manufacturer guidelines during installation.
- Defective materials or equipment: Using damaged, substandard, or incompatible parts can weaken the structure.
- Overloading: Exceeding the scaffold’s weight capacity with workers, tools, or materials.
- Lack of inspection: Failing to regularly inspect and maintain scaffolding can allow dangerous conditions to go unnoticed.
- Negligent oversight: Lack of safety training, poor supervision, or ignoring site-specific risks can lead to avoidable accidents.
We investigate every detail to determine exactly how the collapse occurred and who is legally responsible.
Serious Injuries Caused by Scaffolding Collapses
The height and impact involved in scaffolding failures often result in severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Caused by falls or being struck by falling debris.
- Spinal cord injuries: Can lead to partial or total paralysis.
- Multiple fractures and broken bones: Legs, arms, ribs, and hips are frequently affected.
- Internal injuries: Organ damage and internal bleeding may not be immediately visible.
- Severe lacerations or soft tissue injuries: May require reconstructive surgery or lead to permanent disfigurement.
These injuries often require long-term care, rehabilitation, and can prevent you from returning to work. Our Everett team works to ensure that all current and future losses are fully accounted for in your claim.
