Philadelphia Ladder Injury Attorneys

Nearly every homeowner in America owns at least one ladder. Many of us rely on these tools every day, without any thought to how dangerous ladders can be. In reality, consumer ladders are a leading cause of personal injury, contributing to more than double the accidents caused by table saws. A significant proportion of these debilitating accidents come down to product defects.

If you’ve been injured as a result of using a dangerously defective ladder, you might qualify for a legal remedy. To fully understand the extent of your claim, you should consult a Philadelphia ladder defect attorney at Marciano Legal, P.C. for legal advice.

Can I Sue a Ladder Company for Injuries Caused By Falling Off Their Ladders?

Under Pennsylvania products liability law, manufacturers can be held liable for injuries that result from using a dangerously defective product. A product can be dangerously defective due to an inherent property in its design that presents an unreasonable risk of harm to consumers.

No company holds more power in the global ladder market than Werner, a company based in Greenville, Pennsylvania. Werner is the leading manufacturer of ladders, step stools, scaffolding, and fire escapes in the United States, raking in over $535 million in revenue every year.

Many homeowners, however, say that Werner’s design and manufacturing practices are inadequate. In fact, hundreds of people have filed lawsuits against Werner, claiming the company’s ladders are defective. A major class action, for example, was leveled against Werner in 2013, which said the company had failed to recall its popular Steel Easy Access Attic Ladder – even after years of serious injury reports.

As Products Liability Law Daily reports, consumers accused Werner of knowingly using defective hinges to construct the attic ladder, creating an unreasonable risk of injury. While Werner continues to deny these allegations, the company agreed to settle the case, offering every class member a new ladder.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services. He has obtained great results for these referred individuals and through the entire process has been very accessible and calming."

"They are experts at what they do and will go to battle for their clients if that's what it takes to get the best outcome. If someone in my family was injured, this is the first place I would turn."

"I would highly recommend anyone within this practice. They are knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful."

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."

"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."

Kevin was amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and the rest of your team!
