WHO MAY BE LIABLE FOR YOUR OKLAHOMA LADDER FALL

The ladder manufacturer if a defect in the ladder design or manufacturing caused or contributed to the fall. A contractor or subcontractor if they improperly set up or maintained the ladder. Third parties whose negligence created the hazardous condition that led to the fall.
OSHA LADDER SAFETY STANDARDS AND YOUR CLAIM
OSHA has detailed regulations governing ladder safety in workplaces — including requirements for ladder inspection, the correct angle for ladder placement, requirements for ladder feet and securing, and rules about the maximum load capacity. When an employer violates OSHA ladder safety standards those violations are powerful evidence of negligence. Warhawk Legal works with OSHA investigators and independent safety experts to identify every applicable violation. Learn more about OSHA ladder safety at osha.gov.
THE SEVERITY OF LADDER FALL INJURIES
Falls from even moderate heights can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, hip and pelvis fractures, shoulder injuries, and wrist fractures from instinctive bracing. Falls from greater heights — common in construction and roofing work — can cause catastrophic injuries including paraplegia, quadriplegia, and death. Warhawk Legal builds ladder fall claims that reflect the full lifetime cost of serious injuries.
