- was defective or damaged
- wasn't well-maintained
- was used near power lines and was made of conductive materials (such as metal)
- was unstable
Our lawyers are knowledgeable about causes of ladder accidents and the devastating injuries that can result. Our legal team will investigate your case and determine whether you have a remedy against the ladder's manufacturer, supplier or any other party involved.
