Berks County Construction Accident Attorney
Construction workers in Berks County face some of the most dangerous job conditions in Pennsylvania. From Reading to Boyertown, Wyomissing, and Hamburg, these worksites involve heavy machinery, power tools, and elevated structures that can lead to devastating injuries. When contractors, employers, or property owners fail to follow safety standards, workers often pay the price.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County construction accident attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers. We understand how physically and financially draining these cases can be — and we fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries, lost wages, and long-term suffering.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction sites are inherently hazardous, but negligence or lack of safety protocols dramatically increases the risk of accidents. Common causes include:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
- Electrocutions from exposed wires or faulty equipment
- Crane, forklift, or heavy machinery accidents
- Trench or structural collapses
- Falling tools or building materials
- Defective power tools or safety gear
- Insufficient training or safety supervision
Our team conducts detailed investigations to uncover the true cause of your injury and hold all negligent parties accountable.
Types of Construction Accident Injuries
The injuries sustained in construction site accidents are often catastrophic and life-changing. Victims may suffer from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Fractures and crushed bones
- Burns and electrical injuries
- Amputations or severe lacerations
- Internal injuries and bleeding
- Permanent disability or chronic pain
These injuries can require years of medical care, rehabilitation, and lost income — all of which must be factored into your legal claim.
Determining Liability for Construction Accidents
While workers’ compensation may cover a portion of your medical expenses and lost wages, it doesn’t always provide full financial recovery. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be able to file a third-party claim against:
- Equipment or machinery manufacturers
- Subcontractors or general contractors
- Property owners or site managers
- Architects or engineers
- Maintenance or inspection companies
Our Berks County construction accident lawyers have the experience to investigate all potential sources of liability and pursue the maximum compensation available.
Compensation for Construction Accident Victims
Depending on your injuries and case details, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses and future care costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages for surviving families
At Wilk Law Firm, we ensure that every aspect of your loss is accounted for — from immediate expenses to lifelong impacts.
