Job Site Accident Lawyers Representing the Injured Since 1967
Construction accidents, machine accidents and other workplace accidents can result in life-changing injuries and fatalities. When you or a loved one has suffered in a serious workplace accident, you need a skilled attorney who will stand up for your rights and make sure you receive the full compensation you need for your injuries or loss.
Proven results — Our client was using a wrench on a construction site. The wrench jammed and injured his arm. Our Philadelphia work injury lawyers demonstrated that in addition to workers' compensation, he was entitled to compensation from the manufacturer of the defective wrench — resulting in maximum compensation for our client.

We Are Dedicated to Recovering Full Compensation on Your Behalf
If you suffered an on-the-job injury in a construction site accident, machine accident or other workplace accident, workers' compensation may have covered your medical bills and some of your lost wages. However, you may have claims against other parties that will allow you to recover more fully for your loss.
Your employer's insurance will not begin to fairly compensate you for the long-term effects of serious injuries such as a brain injury, neck injury or back injury that causes permanent disability or paralysis. Chemical burns and other serious burn injuries may cause permanent disfigurement — even after multiple surgeries and skin grafts. The wrongful death of a loved one in a workplace accident can cause your family to never feel whole again. It can also cause significant emotional and financial distress due to the loss of financial support and companionship.
Our Pennsylvania Workplace Accident Attorneys Can Help
No one can turn back the clock and change the fact that your life has changed, but our personal injury attorneys can help you recover damages for your pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. Likewise, if you have suddenly lost a family member to an accident at work, we can pursue full compensation to help provide financial security to you and your family.
Defective Equipment and Construction Accidents
In a commercial or residential construction accident where heavy equipment and construction vehicles are involved, accidents often occur as a result of a dangerous or defective product, such as dangerous machinery or construction equipment with defective components. Our lawyers will help you pursue a claim against the manufacturer responsible for the defective product as well as any other responsible party. Defective equipment may cause a fall from a ladder, a scaffold collapse injury, a crane accident, failure of heavy machinery or failure of a power tool.
Third-Party Claims Following a Job Site Accident
We also represent victims of other workplace accidents. We analyze the situation to determine if there is a third-party claim (which will result in more significant financial recovery than workers' compensation). If a sanitation company leaves a spill in your office, and someone is subsequently injured in a slip and fall accident, the sanitation company may be held financially responsible. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident while working, or if you are the victim of a rape or beating, other insurance coverage may be relevant. Our Philadelphia and Allentown work injury lawyers have the experience and determination to investigate workplace accidents to expose these areas of negligence and potential liability.
