Construction Accident Workers Compensation

The statistics are nothing short of horrifying: tens of thousands of construction workers get hurt on the job every year, with around 1,000 dying. Construction accidents are all too common…and they can endanger your long-term health and your ability to work and care for your family.

The very nature of the construction site is riddled with hazards. Electrical wires present the danger of shocks. Heavy machinery opens workers up to the potential of workplace machinery accidents. Unstable work surfaces and debris mean slip and fall hazards and the constant danger of crushing or disfigurement. Ultimately, though, every construction accident is as different as its victim. The consequences of these accidents can range from minor cuts and scrapes to broken bones, traumatic brain injury, burns, paralysis, and even death.

Even though construction sites often feature layers of contractors and subcontractors, most employees are guaranteed coverage under Pennsylvania's workers' compensation laws. The employer is required to provide a safe workplace with adequate training and well-maintained equipment. Still, accidents can and do happen. When they do, you should seek out medical care immediately…and your next call should be to a skillful attorney. Why contact a lawyer when there's already a system in place? Because all too often, coverage is denied or avoided by employers eager to protect their bottom line.

You deserve a skillful advocate as you navigate the often confusing territory of construction accidents and workers' comp.
