Ladder-related incidents are a leading cause of fall injuries across residential, commercial, and industrial worksites. Our expert witness services help attorneys determine whether ladder use, condition, selection, or placement contributed to a workplace accident.

Speak with a Certified Safety Professional to review your case.

Why Ladder Expertise Is Essential

Ladders may seem simple — but improper selection, defective equipment, lack of inspection, or incorrect use can result in serious injuries. These cases often involve disputes about training, supervision, employer responsibilities, and worksite conditions.

We analyze whether ladders met applicable standards, and whether they were used safely and appropriately given the task.
