Construction Accidents in Philadelphia

Construction workers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the workplace. Construction accidents in Philadelphia are generally devastating and can include loss of limb, severe and permanent injury, and most often, loss of life. Although construction workers are usually covered by workers' compensation, which almost all employers are required to carry, there are those cases where the construction worker may not be considered an employee, and therefore, would not be covered under workers' comp for any on-the-job injury.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean you would not be covered under some party's insurance. Philadelphia construction claims can be very complex, particularly at sites being developed or built. There are numerous parties to be accounted for, i.e., landowner, builder, developer, general contractor, sub-contractors, etc. As you can see, the list can grow and grow and you need an experienced Philadelphia workers' comp attorney working for you to make sure all the responsible parties have been identified.

Injuries from a Philadelphia construction accident can be debilitating physically, mentally and emotionally. The causes of construction accidents in Philadelphia are many and depend on the type of job. Being struck by falling objects, handling live electrical wires, working with explosions, and equipment malfunctioning are common construction accidents. These accidents can equate to life-threatening conditions that require amputation or extensive reconstructive surgery.

Negligent general contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, and employees can be responsible for many of these dangers. Having the knowledge and skill of being able to properly identify who the responsible parties are is what we do at Anapol Schwartz.
