Philadelphia Construction Accident Injury Attorneys
Work injuries on construction sites present different legal challenges from those in other kinds of workplaces. Because it's rare for everyone on a construction site to be working for the same company, there is a greater chance that the party responsible for your injuries was not your employer or a coworker. That means a third party may be responsible for your injuries, so you may have a personal injury claim in addition to your workers' compensation case.
Serious work injuries at construction sites occur with alarming frequency. Every day, 7,300 construction workers go home injured or ill — and three don't go home at all. Each year, a quarter of a million workers suffer injuries significant enough to cause them to miss time from work and about a thousand deaths occur every year due to construction accidents.
If you have been hurt in a construction accident, you would benefit from discussing your situation with a lawyer who understands the multiple approaches to seeking compensation. At Huber & Palsir, LLC, we can help you:
- File for Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act benefits
- Pursue any (third-party) personal injury claims appropriate in your case
- Apply for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, if you are unable to work for at least 12 months.
