The Doan Law Firm Scaffold Accident Lawyer Team Stands Ready to Fight for Justice for You
Approximately 2.3 million workers in the construction industry utilize scaffolds with regularity, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Thousands of other hard working men and women use scaffolding in other occupations as well. Additionally, every day people from all walks of life come into contact with scaffolding associated with construction, maintenance, and other projects.
Of the more than two million people in the construction industry who use scaffolding, about 4,500 are expected to sustain injuries this year alone. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, nearly all of the accidents causing these injuries are avoidable and occur due to the negligence of a party that typically is not the worker. The same holds true for injuries sustained in other industries and by passersby and others injured in scaffolding incidents.
If you, or a loved one, has been injured in a scaffolding accident, you best protect your vital legal rights by retaining the professional services of a skilled, experienced, compassionate scaffold accident lawyer from The Doan Law Firm. You can reach out to us any time of the day or night by calling out scaffold accident hotline at (800) 349-0000.
Doan Law Firm Scaffold Accident Lawyer and Compensation in Your Case
Insurance companies exist for one primary reason. Insurance companies are in business to make money for their stockholders. One way in which these large corporations can increase their annual profits is by limiting the amount of money they pay to injured people like you in scaffold accident claims.
A scaffold accident lawyer from our firm has experience taking on insurance companies, and fighting for clients in court. Although the type and extent of financial compensation in a scaffold accident case varies from one situation to another, there are certain types of losses, damages, and injuries that can result in a monetary payment to you.
These include:
pain and suffering
mental anguish and emotional distress
medical bills and expenses
permanent injury
permanent disfigurement
lost wages
property damage or loss
A scaffold accident lawyer from our firm fights to obtain not only compensation for existing losses, but also for those you reasonable can be expected to face into the future.
Understanding Punitive or Exemplary Damages
A scaffold accident lawyer from our firm may be able to seek what are known as punitive or exemplary damages in your case. What this additional compensation is called depends on the state in which your accident occurred.
Punitive damages represent additional compensation paid to you when the conduct of the party or parties causing a scaffold accident is determined to be particularly reckless. The award of the additional compensation in a lawsuit also serves to punish the responsible party or parties for particularly egregious conduct in causing the accident in first instance.
