It started like any other workday. The ladder looked sturdy, the task seemed simple, and you had done the same job dozens of times before. But a few steps up, the ladder shifted. Everything moved too quickly to react. In seconds, you were on the ground, injured, confused, and unsure what had gone wrong.
For many people in Western New York, this moment marks the beginning of months of medical appointments, lost wages, and uncertainty. Ladder accidents can be life-changing, and determining who is responsible is not always straightforward.
Unsafe Conditions Often Play a Role
Many ladder injuries happen because of conditions beyond the victim’s control. The ladder may be old, damaged, or missing parts. The floor may be uneven. There may have been no safety training or supervision.
When our clients describe their accidents, they often share that they assumed the ladder was safe or trusted that someone else inspected it. Unfortunately, that trust is often misplaced.
Multiple Parties Can Be Responsible
In New York, responsibility for a ladder injury may fall on more than one party. For example:
- A contractor may have provided worn-out equipment
- A property owner may have allowed unsafe flooring
- A manufacturer may have designed a defective ladder
- An employer may have ignored safety requirements
Liability is rarely simple, and victims should not be expected to uncover it alone.
