Construction Accidents
A fall from scaffolding. A defective tool. Unsafe actions of coworkers.
All of these incidents, and many more, happen every day on construction sites throughout Pennsylvania and the United States. And, in most cases, the injured worker is not at fault, but instead is the victim of dangerous conditions or practices of the worksite or employer. If you have been involved in an accident and are injured, you should seek legal help.
At Adams Renzi, we are here to help. We are Philadelphia’s construction accident lawyers. Call 215-546-4208.
We will start by compassionately listening to your experiences. We will discuss your injuries and the other people affected. Then, we will find who was responsible.
At the end, you will know you received Philadelphia’s most thorough legal representation along with the settlement or verdict you deserve. We do not get paid until you do.
Even if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits, you may have a lawsuit against another party and be entitled to significant compensations.
Who may be responsible?
Employer: If you are injured on the job and disabled from work, your employer is generally required to pay workers' compensation benefits. You cannot file a lawsuit against your employer for pain and suffering, but you may be able to seek recovery from other parties.
Other Parties: If someone other than your co-workers or employer caused your injury, you may have a lawsuit against them. For instance, if you were injured due to the fault of another sub-contractor on the job, you may have a lawsuit against that sub-contractor for your lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, etc.
Key to Success: The key to success in a construction-accident case is quick investigation. A construction site is always changing. As a result, evidence may be lost, misplaced, destroyed or altered. As construction-accident attorneys, we personally go out to the site immediately to inspect the site and secure potential evidence.
