Scaffolding Accident Attorneys
Fell from — or hit by — scaffolding in Roseville?
Scaffolding is subject to strict Cal/OSHA standards under Title 8. Missing guardrails, unsecured planks, overloaded platforms, and improper erection cause serious falls every year. When those standards are violated, multiple parties can be liable.
Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP pursues general contractors, scaffold erection subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners — not just workers' comp. Every case is handled on a contingency fee.
You work directly with a trial-ready attorney — never a case manager — from your first call through resolution.
Quick Answer
A Roseville scaffolding accident lawyer stacks third-party claims on top of workers' comp against negligent contractors and equipment makers. California's statute of limitations is generally two years. Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP handles scaffolding cases on a contingency fee — no fee unless we win.

After a Crash
What to do after a scaffolding accident in Roseville
- 1
Report to your supervisor immediately
In writing. California law protects you from retaliation for reporting an injury.

Get medical attention right away
Fall injuries often have delayed internal symptoms. Go to Sutter Roseville, Kaiser Roseville, or the nearest ER.
- 3
Preserve the scaffold
Photograph the scaffold, missing guardrails, planks, and any defective components before repairs are made.
- 4
Note who erected the scaffold
The scaffold sub-contractor may be your primary third-party defendant. Get names.

File a workers' comp claim
Separate from — and in addition to — a third-party civil case.

Do not talk to the GC's insurance
Politely decline until you have a lawyer.
- 7
Preserve every record
Medical bills, pay stubs, and any Cal/OSHA reports or citations.

FAQ
Roseville scaffolding accident FAQs
Can I sue if my employer set up the scaffold?
Not your direct employer (that's workers' comp) — but you can sue any other party: general contractor, scaffold subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner. These third-party claims recover far more.
Who can I sue after a scaffolding fall?
General contractors, scaffold-erection subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and any negligent inspector or engineer.
Are Cal/OSHA citations useful in my case?
Yes. Cal/OSHA scaffolding violations under Title 8 are powerful evidence of negligence. We obtain the full inspection file.
What if I was undocumented?
You have the same right to a personal-injury claim as any other worker in California. Immigration status is not admissible to reduce damages.
What if the scaffold was defective?
The manufacturer and distributor can be strictly liable under California product liability law.
How long do I have to file a scaffolding claim?
Two years from the accident for a third-party claim. Workers' comp deadlines are much shorter — report within 30 days.
How much does a Roseville scaffolding lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. Contingency fee — no hourly fees, no retainer. Paid only when we recover.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover under California's pure comparative negligence rule.
Do you handle scaffolding cases outside Roseville?
Yes. In addition to Roseville and Placer County, we represent injured workers throughout Sacramento and the greater Sacramento region.
What if a family member was killed in a fall?
Surviving family can bring a wrongful-death claim in addition to workers' comp death benefits.
