Understanding Your Options After a Construction Accident
Work-related injuries on a construction site present somewhat different legal challenges from other kinds of workplace accidents. Because it's rare for everyone on a construction site to be working for the same company, the chance that someone other your employer might be found negligent and liable for personal injury damages are greater than they are in other accidents on the job.
To learn you and your family can benefit from the advice of a lawyer who knows how to pursue multiple approaches to compensation for a construction accident, contact Huber & Palsir in Philadelphia for a free consultation. We can advise you about your rights under the personal injury litigation system, the Pennsylvania workers' compensation system and for long-term injuries, the Social Security disability insurance system.

In many construction accident cases, you'll have the legal right to recover no-fault workers' compensation benefits from an employer's insurance carrier while at the same time pursuing third-party negligence damages from the manufacturer, driver, supplier or other subcontractor who can be found liable for your injuries.
While our attorneys are evaluating your case and developing the evidence essential to your claims, we'll also work closely with you and your family to make sure that you're getting the help you need on practical problems that can come up after a serious construction accident: getting an accurate diagnosis, making sure your medical bills are paid, obtaining a second medical opinion when necessary, and dealing with your creditors if your income is interrupted for more than a few weeks.
