What Is a Scaffolding Accident Claim?
A scaffolding accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation after suffering injury due to unsafe or poorly maintained scaffolding. Whether you are a worker, contractor, site visitor, or a member of the public, if the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to claim.
Common causes include:
• Falls from height due to missing safety rails or faulty access
• Scaffold collapses caused by poor assembly or defective parts
• Slips or trips on uneven or cluttered platforms
• Being struck by falling objects from unsecured scaffolding
• Inadequate training or lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Who Can Claim After a Scaffolding Accident?
You may be able to claim compensation if:
• You were injured while working on, erecting, or dismantling scaffolding
• You were a member of the public injured by falling materials or a collapsing scaffold
• You were a contractor or visitor injured due to unsafe scaffolding on site
• Your injury was caused by an employer, contractor, or company failing to follow safety regulations

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
