Chicago Construction Scaffolding Accidents: Work Injury Lawsuits

In a recent study from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 72% of workers who suffered an injury in a scaffold accident stated that the accident resulted from the support or planking failing or giving way, or to the employee slipping or being hit by a falling object.

Taking steps to protect workers from potential scaffold-related incidents can help to prevent around 4,500 injuries and over 60 deaths each year.
