Common Construction Site Accidents that an Experienced Philadelphia Construction Worker Injury Lawyer At van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin can Help With

Some of the most common types of construction site accidents our law firm has dealt with include:
- Scaffolding accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Electrocution

It depends on the circumstances of your accident. In general, workers’ injuries are covered by workers’ compensation benefits in Pennsylvania. This system protects employers from being sued by their workers for compensation in the event of an accident. However, you may be able to sue for compensation for your injuries and other losses after a construction accident in the following circumstances:
1. Your employer has not provided workers’ compensation insurance as required by the law
2. Your injury was a result of the intentional actions of your employer
3. Your injury was a result of the negligence or recklessness of a third party e.g. a subcontractor on site.
Contact our law firm to schedule a free consultation with an experienced and knowledgeable construction work accident attorney in Philadelphia, PA. We will explore all the options available to you and help you determine the best approach to recover full compensation for your injuries and losses.

You should seek medical attention right away, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Report the accident to your supervisor and ensure an incident report is filed. If possible, take photos of the accident scene, equipment involved, and any hazardous conditions such as debris, defective machinery, or unsafe scaffolding. Gather witness names and contact information. Do not provide recorded statements to insurance companies until you have spoken with a construction accident attorney. Early legal guidance helps protect your rights and preserves valuable evidence.
-
Yes. Workers’ compensation covers medical expenses and partial wage replacement, but it does not provide compensation for pain and suffering or full lost income. If a third party such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another negligent party contributed to your accident, you may also file a separate personal injury lawsuit. This can significantly increase your financial recovery. A construction work accident attorney can identify all potentially liable parties and pursue every available claim.
