Climbing Accidents

Climbing Accident Lawyer

A serious climbing accident can result in broken bones, crushes and fractures, or even death. As an experienced personal injury law firm, Edelstein Martin & Nelson obtains compensation for persons who have suffered serious injuries in all types of accidents, including climbing accidents.

These fall into two broad categories:

Recreational Climbing Accidents — such as falls from indoor and outdoor rock climbing facilities, playground equipment, swing sets, swimming pool diving boards and other installations.

Construction or Work Related Climbing Accidents — such as falls from ladders, scaffolding and roofs.

Under the concept of premises liability, the owner of a recreational facility and even a homeowner has a duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors. When dangerous conditions or faulty equipment causes a climbing accident, the injured person can claim compensation for losses and suffering.

The attorneys at Edelstein Martin & Nelson work extensively in the areas of premises liability and construction accidents. We help our clients obtain compensation so that they can recover as fully as possible from their injuries. We understand the medical implications of fractures and crush injuries, how a climbing accident occurs and how to build a strong and persuasive case for compensation.

The Clock is Ticking

In Pennsylvania, there is a two-year statute of limitations for filing a formal lawsuit against a private property owner for injuries related to climbing accidents. Many states have governmental immunity laws that seek to protect the state as well as local municipalities. Many states including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have listed exceptions to sovereign immunity as well as immunity for local governmental agencies. Even if an injury falls under a qualified exception to the sovereign or governmental immunity, the injured party must provide notice of the accident to the Commonwealth or municipality within 6 months of the date of the accident. To find out if your accident qualifies under a recognized Pennsylvania exception to immunity please contact the lawyers at Edelstein Martin & Nelson now at 215/789-9345 or 866/532-2504 (Toll Free).
