Ladder Falls

Ladder Fall Injury Lawyers

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ladder falls are a major cause of workplace injuries and death. More than 100 deaths, over 30,000 injuries requiring hospitalization, and about 15,000 injuries requiring time off work occur on a yearly basis as the result of workplace ladder falls. Among workers, around 40% of fatal falls involve a ladder, and approximately 20% of all fall injuries involve ladders. Individuals at the greatest risk for sustaining a ladder fall injury are men, older employees, and (not surprisingly) those who work in construction, installation, extraction, and maintenance. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as the result of a ladder fall in the Atlanta area, the legal team at Katz Personal Injury Lawyers can help.

Falls from Ladders are Preventable

The sad fact is that many, if not most, ladder fall accidents are entirely preventable. Federal law requires employers to take reasonable steps to help employees avoid ladder falls, but, even so, a low-safety culture in many sectors of the construction industry and generally unsafe practices in many workplaces contribute to the steady rate of ladder fall injuries every year. Circumstances associated with ladder fall incidents frequently involve:

Slippery, cluttered, or unstable walking/working surfaces
Unprotected edges
Floor holes and wall openings
Unsafely positioned ladders
Poorly designed or assembled ladders that collapse
An object falling and striking a worker on a ladder
Electrocution due to a ladder contacting a power line
Misused or unprovided fall protection, such as helmets and safety harnesses
Lack of training

I was in a head-on collision last year that put me in a wheelchair with a fractured femur. I needed an attorney and my cousin recommended this firm because he had used Briant Mildenhall for his accident. I was glad I called Briant because he always did what he said he would do and kept me informed. We settled with the insurance company and I'm happy with the result. If someone I know needs an attorney, I will tell them to call Briant because he will get the job done. Michael G.

After a head–on collision I had extremely serious injuries to my back and neck, and some internal injuries. I was airlifted to the hospital and started a huge amount of medical expenses accumulating. I hired a lawyer recommended by a friend but I was not satisfied. My cousin told me about this firm so I talked to Briant Mildenhall about handling the case. I was at ease from the get–go. Briant kept me informed all the way through, was always reassuring and did everything he said he would do. He helped us get the money we needed to get the treatment we needed. Briant was fantastic! Ronda W. (Car Accident)

After my car accident, I was looking for an attorney and came across the name Katz Personal Injury Lawyers. My intuition told me to call. I called in and Briant Mildenhall talked to me. He was very clear and honest about my options. As the case went forward, Briant and the staff at the law office always answered my questions right away. I was very confident in Briant's legal ability. He kept me informed every step of the way. I would recommend Mr. Mildenhall and the firm to anyone who needs an attorney. Antonio J. (Car Accident)

I am 100% satisfied. I called Rob the day after the accident. Everything he said that would happen did, every step of the way. He went beyond what we needed him to do. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. Steve H.

Robert Katz isn't your average personal injury lawyer. He has specialized knowledge and experience that the others don't. Timothy W. (Trucking Accident)
