Non-Subscriber Lawsuits
The families of workers wrongfully killed in scaffolding accidents may pursue damages under a wrongful death lawsuit and only need to prove the employer’s negligence as the cause of the fatal accident. Facing the potential of unlimited liability in the event of a work-related scaffolding accident, non-subscriber employers often begin building a legal case against the injured or wrongfully killed worker long before any such incident occurs.

These employers, along with the legal defense lawyers of any insurance company with whom they may have a policy, will go to incredible and often underhanded lengths to prove that the injured or deceased worker was responsible for their own injuries or death. Such tactics may include outright slander, attacks upon the character, work ethic, mental capability of the worker, the manipulation of eyewitness statements, or any statements that do not favor their legal or financial interests.

.Another tactic utilized by non-subscriber employers to avoid having to pay damages is the definition of a worker as a “contractor, temporary worker”, or any other than a “general employee”. This is a tactic based upon the knowledge and recognition of the different duties of safety, which employers must provide for their employees. While “general employees” must be provided by law the duty of a safe working environment, contractors and temporary workers must, themselves, see to the safety of their own work environments.
