Workplace Accidents on Pennsylvania Construction Sites
Unfortunately, accidents occur on a frequent basis on construction sites in Lancaster County and throughout Pennsylvania due to the dangerous conditions that are present. Even though strict federal and state regulations have been enacted to stem the number of construction accidents, the nature of the work means that workers still suffer injuries at an alarming rate. For workers, getting compensation for injuries suffered in those accidents is important.
For any construction accident, we will fully explore your right to get benefits under the Workers' Compensation Law. At Vanasse Law LLC, we have years of expertise in representing injured workers. We will also help you consider whether you should seek counsel for other legal ramifications of your injury, such as claims against third parties for unsafe conditions, or against manufacturers for faulty and defective machinery.
Common Injuries in Construction Site Accidents
Sometimes, even with safety precautions, injuries happen. Frequent causes of construction accident injuries include:
- Falling debris
- Explosions and fires
- Dangerous chemicals, liquids and other substances
- Falls
- Defective or faulty machinery
- Electrocution
Often, due to the physical nature of the work, many victims of construction site accidents are unable to return to the same jobs after recovery.
