Protecting Benefits After Serious Jobsite Injuries

Construction injury claims can involve difficult questions about work restrictions, medical treatment, return-to-work pressure, contractors, third parties and settlement value. Our attorneys help workers protect benefits and evaluate whether additional claims may exist beyond workers’ compensation.

Construction Accidents We Handle

Claims may involve falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, ladder accidents, crane or forklift incidents, trench injuries, power-tool accidents, electrocution, machinery accidents, repetitive trauma, lifting injuries and exposure to dangerous substances.

Workers’ Comp and Possible Third-Party Claims

Workers’ compensation may cover medical care and wage-loss benefits, but some construction accidents also involve negligent third parties such as subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers or other companies working on the site.

Construction injury answers

Can construction workers get workers’ compensation after a jobsite injury?

Yes. Construction workers may be eligible for Pennsylvania workers’ compensation benefits when they are injured in the course of employment, even if the injury was not caused by employer negligence.

Quick answer

Phillips Froetschel helps Pittsburgh construction workers pursue benefits after falls, scaffolding accidents, machinery incidents, lifting injuries, tool accidents, electrocution, toxic exposure and denied or delayed workers’ compensation claims.

What evidence may help?

Useful evidence can include accident reports, witness names, jobsite photos, medical records, work restrictions, employer communications, safety documents and details about any subcontractor or third party involved.

Frequently asked questions about construction injury claims

Can I have both a workers’ comp claim and a personal injury claim?

Possibly. Workers’ compensation may apply to the work injury, while a separate third-party claim may exist if another company or product defect contributed to the accident.

What if I am pressured to return to work?

Return-to-work pressure should be evaluated against medical restrictions. Legal advice can help if a modified-duty offer does not match your condition.

What benefits may be available?

Benefits may include medical treatment, wage-loss benefits and other workers’ compensation benefits depending on the facts, injury and disability status.
