Damages Allowed in Ladder Accidents

Though ladders are a common tool, used both at home and in the workplace, a fall from a ladder can be very dangerous and result in serious injuries, especially if the fall is from great heights. If you are injured in a ladder accident, you can receive compensation for your injuries by filing a personal injury claim against the party responsible—because a ladder is a product, the party responsible could be the product manufacturer if the product was faulty.

When you bring a personal injury claim, you can receive compensatory damages, which is a legal term for financial recovery for your losses.

Compensatory Damages from Ladder Accident Injuries

Compensatory damages allow for financial recovery for the harm your injury caused to you physically as well as the harm cause to other aspects of your life. Compensatory damages are split into two different categories, economic and non-economic damages.

  • Economic Damages: Economic damages are awarded to compensate you for any money you lost because of your injuries. This includes medical, physical therapy, psychological care, and dental charges. It also includes lost wages and lost earning capacity (what you could have earned in the future had you not been injured).
  • Non-economic Damages: Non-economic damages are awarded for losses that are not necessarily financial but caused you harm. These types of damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, inconvenience, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Workers’ Compensation

Ladders are commonly used in the workplace, and unfortunately accidents can happen which cause injuries. If your ladder accident injuries occurred while on the job, you may also be entitled to damages available under California’s Workers’ Compensations laws.

Wrongful Death

As previously mentioned, if you lost a loved one in a ladder accident, you are entitled to wrongful death damages for your loss. These would economic damages for the cost of your loved one’s car, and in addition, other costs such as funeral and burial expenses.

We had two prior attorneys who were unable to settle our car accident case. We then hired Gary and Robert Walch and they not only got us both great settlements, but personally spent time with us explaining everything clearly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you! A.M. and M.A.
