If the accident involves a fall from a ladder or scaffold you are afforded special legal status. If you're working many feet above ground on scaffold or a ladder you need and deserve extra protections. Building owners, their agents and contractors must supply and operate safety equipment to prevent workers from injuries caused by falls from elevated workplaces. Failure to do so results in absolute liability, even if the worker's own fault contributes to the accident.
