Dedicated Attorneys Represent Construction Workers Injured on the Job in Pittsburgh, PA

If your or a loved one are a construction worker or laborer and have been injured on the job, it’s imperative that you contact our experienced Pittsburgh construction worker injury lawyers as soon as possible about your claim.

Construction workers build our homes, our schools, our offices, our hospitals, our stores, and everything else we need in society. Despite recent advances in safety equipment and procedures, construction sites remain dangerous places for construction workers. Construction work is very physically demanding labor, and construction workers often use power tools, equipment, and machinery that pose a serious risk of catastrophic injury, and work in dangerous places like great heights in scaffolding or on roofs, or in basements, pits, and trenches. 

Due to the inherent dangers of construction work, construction workers face unavoidable risks of injury. Fortunately, the law provides injured construction workers remedies to seek compensation and other benefits when they’ve been injured on the job. However, some injured construction workers face difficulties in obtaining the financial compensation and other benefits they deserve. If you or a loved one need compensation after suffering a construction worker injury in Pittsburgh, you need compassionate, experienced legal representation on your side that is prepared to fight to get you the recovery you deserve.

Common Construction Worker Injuries

Construction sites are among some of the most dangerous worksites in Pittsburgh and across the country. Even with the widespread use of safety equipment and procedures on construction sites, construction workers are still at a significant risk of injury on the job. Some of the most common injuries construction workers in Pittsburgh suffer include:

Many injuries that construction workers suffer can require weeks, months, or even years of treatment and rehabilitation, all the while the injured worker cannot return to his or her job and earn a living. That is why the Pittsburgh construction worker injury lawyers at Goodrich & Geist work tirelessly to ensure that our injured construction worker clients receive the full compensation and benefits they are entitled to under the law.

Goodrich & Geist, P.C. Fights for Maximum Compensation for Clients Who Have Suffered Construction Worker Injuries

At Goodrich & Geist, our Pittsburgh construction worker injury lawyers believe in fighting to get you the full amount of compensation you may be entitled to under the law. When you are injured on the job in Pennsylvania, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which can provide compensation for medical treatments for your injuries and partial wage replacement if your injuries prevent you from returning to work, or disability benefits if you cannot return to your old job. 

However, the Pittsburgh construction worker injury lawyers of Goodrich & Geist can also help you pursue additional compensation if the circumstances of your injuries warrant. For example, if your injuries are caused by a defective tool or piece of equipment, you may be entitled to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. Or if you are a construction worker on a roadside site who is hit by a negligent driver, you could file a personal injury claim against that driver. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible not only for your medical treatment and lost wages through workers’ compensation but also for lost earning potential and pain and suffering if you also have a viable third-party personal injury claim.

Frequently Asked Questions about Construction Worker Injuries in Pittsburgh, PA

What are my rights if I was injured by a defective tool or piece of equipment?

If you are a construction worker who was injured on the job by a defective tool or defective piece of equipment or machinery, you may be entitled to pursue a product liability claim against the designer, manufacturer, or retailer of the tool/equipment/machine that injured you. You may pursue a product liability claim even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits from your employer; however, your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer may be entitled to be reimbursed for any workers’ comp benefits they have paid from any recovery you obtain in a defective product claim.

Can I recover personal injury damages from my employer?

Typically no. An injured worker is usually limited to filing a workers’ compensation claim with his or her employer for an injury suffered on the job. Workers’ compensation will provide an injured worker with medical treatments and partial wage replacement or disability benefits from time missed from work or income missed out on. In rare cases, an injured worker may be permitted to step outside the workers’ compensation system to file a personal injury claim against an employer if the worker can show that the employer intentionally or recklessly caused the worker’s injury.
