Werner Ladder Fall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Injured Victims

When a ladder fails, the consequences can be devastating. Thousands of people rely on Werner ladders every day for home repairs, construction projects, and commercial work. Unfortunately, the recently announced recall of Werner’s 20-foot and 24-foot Multi-Max Pro Multi-Purpose Ladders highlights how dangerous defective ladders can be.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), over 122,000 ladders were recalled in August 2025 because the locking mechanism can jam and fail to lock properly. When this happens, the ladder may collapse, causing users to fall. Reports include serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and lacerations.

At the Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we can help victims pursue claims when defective products cause harm. If you or a loved one fell from a recalled Werner ladder, you may have the right to file a Werner ladder fall lawsuit and seek compensation.

Background of the Werner Ladder Recall

The recall involves Werner Multi-Max Pro ladders, model numbers ALMP-20IAA and ALMP-24IAA. They were sold in silver with a blue top, a blue label, and a long black rope on the back section.

• Units recalled: 122,250
• Dates sold: November 2021 – February 2024
• Retailers: Home Depot stores nationwide and HomeDepot.com
• Hazard: Locking mechanism can jam and fail, creating a fall hazard
• Incidents reported: 18 falls, 14 resulting in injuries, including broken bones and head injuries

Consumers are urged to stop using the ladders immediately and request a refund through Werner’s recall site. While refunds are important, they don’t compensate for medical bills, lost income, or pain caused by an unexpected fall.

Potential Compensation in a Werner Ladder Fall Lawsuit

Victims injured by a defective Werner ladder may be able to pursue damages such as:

• Medical expenses – Emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, rehabilitation
• Lost wages – Time away from work or reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering – Physical pain and emotional distress caused by the fall
• Long-term care needs – For severe injuries like traumatic brain injury or paralysis

Filing a lawsuit not only seeks to cover financial losses but can also hold manufacturers accountable for unsafe products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What ladders are included in the Werner recall?

The recall covers the 20’ and 24’ Multi-Max Pro ladders, model numbers ALMP-20IAA and ALMP-24IAA. They were sold nationwide at Home Depot between November 2021 and February 2024.

2. What injuries have been reported from these ladders?

Reports include fractures, head injuries, lacerations, and rib injuries. Even a fall from a few feet can cause serious harm.

3. Can I still sue Werner if I already received a refund?

Yes. A refund only reimburses the cost of the ladder. If you suffered injuries, you may still have the right to pursue a product liability claim for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

4. Do I need to keep my ladder to file a lawsuit?

Not always. Even if you disposed of the ladder after the recall, records of purchase, photos, or witness testimony can support your case. Our team can help collect evidence.

5. How long do I have to file a claim?

Every state has different statutes of limitations. It’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

6. What if I was using the ladder at work?

If the accident happened on the job, you may have both a workers’ compensation claim and a potential lawsuit against Werner.

7. Will Werner settle these lawsuits?

Manufacturers often choose to settle to avoid prolonged litigation, but it depends on the evidence and severity of injuries. Our firm works to position your case for the best possible outcome.

8. What should I do if I was injured?

• Seek medical attention immediately
• Preserve the ladder, receipts, or packaging if possible
• Document your injuries with photos and medical records
• Contact an attorney to review your legal options

9. How much is a Werner ladder lawsuit worth?

There is no set value. Compensation depends on the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and how the fall impacts your daily life.
