Personal Injury Attorneys in the Bronx Helping Victims of Ladder Falls Recover Compensation
Falling from a ladder or other high location can result in serious and devastating injuries, some of which may be permanent. Individuals who work at construction sites and who perform ceiling work are especially susceptible to ladder injuries. In some instances, the injury which the worker sustains on a ladder can prevent him or her from returning to the job site for a long period of time. The worker may also be forced to undergo significant medical treatment and incur high medical bills.
