Philadelphia County Construction Accident Attorney
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Philadelphia County. Heavy equipment, high scaffolding, power tools, and fast-paced environments all increase the risk of serious injuries. When safety rules are ignored or equipment fails, workers’ lives can be forever changed.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Philadelphia County construction accident lawyers stand up for injured workers, contractors, and their families. We understand how overwhelming these cases can be — especially when employers, insurers, and contractors all try to avoid responsibility. Our goal is simple: to fight for your rights and secure the maximum compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Even experienced workers can suffer devastating injuries when job sites aren’t properly maintained or safety regulations are ignored. Common causes of construction accidents in Philadelphia County include:
- Falls from scaffolding, roofs, or ladders
- Electrocution from exposed wiring or power lines
- Crane and forklift accidents
- Falling debris and materials
- Machinery malfunctions or equipment failure
- Trench or structure collapses
- Lack of proper safety training or supervision
Every construction accident deserves a full and independent investigation to determine who is at fault — whether it’s a negligent subcontractor, a defective equipment manufacturer, or a careless property owner.
Types of Construction Injuries
Construction site injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Many workers suffer from:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Burns and electrical injuries
- Severe lacerations or amputations
- Internal injuries and organ damage
These injuries often require long-term medical care and rehabilitation — and our attorneys make sure your financial recovery reflects the full extent of your losses.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Construction Accident?
Unlike typical workplace injuries, construction accident claims can involve multiple parties. Depending on how your injury occurred, the following may be held responsible:
- Property owners and developers
- General contractors and subcontractors
- Equipment manufacturers or suppliers
- Architects or engineers
- Third-party maintenance or inspection companies
Our Philadelphia County construction accident lawyers carefully investigate every aspect of your case to determine all sources of compensation — whether through workers’ compensation, third-party liability, or product defect claims.
Compensation Available for Victims
If you’ve been injured on a construction site, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)
We’ll fight to ensure that your claim reflects not only your physical injuries but also your emotional and financial hardships.
