Whether you were a worker at the site or a bystander who was injured as a consequence of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, we can help you seek appropriate compensation. See some settlements my clients have obtained in construction and industrial accidents
Third-party liability
In Pennsylvania—due to the workers compensation laws—you cannot sue your employer for an injury resulting from a workplace accident. However, if you were injured through the negligence of someone other than your employer or a coworker, you may have a third-party liability case. For example, if you were a painter who fell through a hole that should have been covered by the plumbing contractor, the plumbing company may be liable. The owner of a construction worksite or an equipment manufacturer may also be held responsible for your accident.
Third-party liability provides the opportunity to obtain compensation for your injuries beyond what is available through workers compensation. We can help you obtain money for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and extraordinary expenses incurred as a result of your injury. If you have lost a family member in a workplace accident, we will seek just damages for your loss.
