Compensation for Your On-the-Job Injuries

If you were injured on a job site, the skilled construction accident attorneys of Woomer & Talarico can help you.

When construction workers are injured, two different areas of law come into play: workers’ compensation and workplace negligence.

Workers’ compensation will cover construction workers for injuries that occur on construction sites, but many times a construction worker is able to bring an additional claim for injuries that occurred at the accident site.

Call Woomer & Talarico at (800) 686-0848 and see if you have what is known as a "third party construction site claim."

Injured on a Construction Site?

In Pennsylvania, it is extremely difficult to sue your co-workers, even if they are directly responsible for your injuries.

However, in today’s construction industry, there are many parties that by their position in the project become responsible for the safety of the workers. These include construction managers, general contractors, other subcontractors, and property owners themselves.

Complicating matters is a legal defense used by the insurance companies. Known as the statutory employer defense, on its face it appears fatal to many of the third-party claims, but crafty pleading and investigation can usually defeat the defense.

Please contact Woomer & Talarico if you feel you have a potential third-party claim.
