Philadelphia, PA Construction Worker Injuries Lawyers
What's true about workplace accidents in general is especially true of injuries at construction job sites — you should be eligible for workers' compensation benefits under any circumstances, and you might have an additional and independent right to pursue a negligent party for personal injury damages, depending on the facts of your case.
In a workers' comp claim, you don't need to prove negligence, but your damages are limited to lost income, medical bills and related expenses. In a personal injury lawsuit related to a work accident, you can't sue your employer or a co-worker, but anyone else — manufacturer, truck driver, property owner, supplier or another contractor — is liable for the full extent of the damages they caused. Our attorneys can let you know whether the facts of your case will support a personal injury lawsuit over and above your right to workers' compensation.
Construction accidents often allow the victim to seek financial recovery under both the workers' comp and personal injury systems. This is because of the greater likelihood that someone other than your employer was responsible for your injuries.
Our law firm's experience with spinal cord and brain trauma, and neck and back injury claims can help ensure that you'll receive compensation sufficient to cover the full amount of losses to date and enough to meet your future needs. The attorneys of Gay Chacker & Mittin advise job site injury victims across a wide range of accident scenarios, including:
- Falls from roofs
- Ladder or scaffolding accidents
- Crane accidents
- Excavation accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Fires or explosions
- Electrocution
- Construction vehicle accidents on or off the site
