Safety Violations and Construction Accidents in Pennsylvania
Defective materials, faulty building methods or designs, inadequate inspections and other violations of laws and regulations often result in structural accidents on construction sites. These unexpected accidents may include the structural collapse of walls, floors and roofs, which could result in serious and fatal injuries for workers. Employers who fail to protect their workers should be held accountable by compensating victims for injuries and other expenses.
At the law firm of Hill & Associates, P.C., in Philadelphia, our personal injury lawyers work diligently to protect those who have suffered serious injuries by pursuing the benefits they deserve. With more than 20 years of experience, our attorneys understand how to investigate the causes of structural accidents and to determine how those accidents could have been prevented.
If you or someone you love has suffered a serious or fatal injury due to a structural collapse, defect or safety violation at a Pennsylvania construction site, contact us for a free consultation to discuss your situation and your needs.
Unsafe Structures and Personal Injury Claims
While many workers who are injured in structural collapses and other construction site accidents believe that they are only eligible for workers' compensation benefits, additional benefits may also be pursued for negligence caused by other parties. For instance, it may be possible to file a personal injury claim if:
- Property owners knew about defects and did not correct them
- Supervisors allowed construction safety violations
- Contractors or subcontractors failed to warn of known dangers
- Architects or engineers designed walls, floors, roofs and other structures with flaws
- Manufacturers produced defective building materials
At our firm, we have worked with clients who have suffered a variety of injuries as the result of structural collapses and accidents, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, amputations and other catastrophic injuries. We have also represented family members in wrongful death claims.
