Whether or not you were at fault for the injuries you sustained while working on scaffolding, you are entitled to receive Workers' Compensation benefits as long you were not engaging in horseplay or fighting. These benefits can help cover your lost income and medical bills.

Some of the injuries that can be suffered in a scaffolding accident include: 

• multiple fractures;
• traumatic brain injury;

• nerve damage; and
• death. 

There may be other serious injuries suffered as a result of a fall from scaffolding or objects striking workers while on scaffolding. They often lead to lengthy, costly medical treatment and an inability to work. In some cases, they may even result in permanent disability.
