Need Compensation for a Scaffolding or Ladder Accident?
If you or a family member has been in an accident caused by defective, improperly constructed, poorly maintained or inappropriate scaffolds or ladders, Tomkiel and Tomkiel, PC can help you pursue fair compensation.
Our attorneys have more than 30 years of experience representing workers in New York. We represent residents, as well as people from out of state who were involved in accidents while working in New York.
We Understand the Realities of the Workplace
Often, in scaffold or ladder accident cases, the opposition will try to place blame on the victim. They will say that the victim was doing something negligent in the workplace.
Since we have knowledge of the workplace, our lawyers are able to overcome this argument. We know that construction work and other work that involves scaffolds and ladders is unique. We know that workers may be required to do things unconventionally in order to get the job done.
The simple fact is that workers must be provided with safe equipment. If they are not, and an accident happens due to unsafe scaffolds or ladders, they have the right to compensation.
Our history of success in accident cases includes getting $1,250,000.00 in compensation for a laborer who suffered serious injuries after a fall from scaffolding.
What New York's Scaffolding Law Means to Accident Victims
Even though victims of ladder and scaffold accidents may think that workers' compensation is their only option, our attorneys know that other options exist.
In New York, there is a law that specifically deals with scaffold accidents. Labor Law 240, also known as the Scaffold Law, allows victims to recover full wages and benefits, medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering.
At our law firm, we understand New York's Scaffold Law and we know how to use it to the benefit of accident victims.
No Attorney Fees Unless We Recover Money for You
Since all scaffold and ladder accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, there is no risk to you.*
