A Necessary Yet Dangerous Industry

Construction accidents injure thousands of workers every year. In most cases, these accidents could have been prevented had proper safety procedures been adopted. Negligence on the part of contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects, and others responsible for workplace safety can result in catastrophic injury including spinal cord trauma, paraplegia or quadriplegia, traumatic brain injuries, chronic health conditions, and in some cases, wrongful death.

Structural Collapses

Aerial Lift Accidents

Our construction accident attorneys in Philadelphia understand Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and other standards and practices applicable to construction sites, and how the failure to comply with safety rules can increase the risk of serious personal injury.

Establishing Liability in Construction Claims

One of the most complex aspects of construction and workplace accident litigation is determining who’s actually responsible. These aren’t always simple one-to-one cases. Multiple contractors, property owners, safety managers, and equipment manufacturers may share some portion of the blame. Our attorneys have deep experience unraveling this web of responsibility and identifying each entity that contributed to the unsafe conditions.

Claims Supported by Experts

We consult with industry experts, construction engineers, and OSHA professionals to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. We don’t just glance at the surface. We ask the hard questions: Was this incident part of a known pattern? Did the employer cut corners on safety? Were workers properly trained and supervised?

Long-Term Recovery Deserves Long-Term Legal Support

Construction accident victims often face years – sometimes a lifetime – of medical needs, rehabilitation, and financial strain. Filing a claim isn’t just about replacing lost wages; it’s about building a future after everything has changed. At Feldman Shepherd, we take that seriously.

Calculating Future Losses

We work closely with medical providers, life care planners, and economists to estimate the long-term financial impact of an injury. That way, when we pursue compensation, we aren’t just covering today’s bills – we’re protecting your future.

Open Communication and Constant Support

You’ll never be left in the dark about your case. We’ll keep you informed, explain your options clearly, and make sure your voice is heard throughout the process. And if the other side refuses to take your injuries seriously, we won’t back down. We’ve secured life-changing verdicts and settlements for workers and families whose futures were on the line.

Frequently Asked Questions Construction and Workplace Accidents

Do I have a claim even if I receive workers’ compensation?

Yes. In many cases, you can pursue a third-party liability claim in addition to your workers’ comp benefits. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or site owner contributed to your injuries, they can be held liable separately.

How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

The “clock starts ticking,” so to speak, from the moment the accident happened. Both states have a two-year statute of limitations to take legal action in most instances, although exceptions may apply. It’s best to get legal help immediately, since it takes time to gather evidence and pursue compensation.

Can I afford to hire Feldman Shepherd?

Absolutely. We use a contingency fee arrangement when handling serious injury claims. Unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf, we won’t receive any money. You won’t pay anything upfront, since we advance all case-related costs.

What if I’m an undocumented worker – do I still have rights?

Yes. All workers, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to a safe workplace. If you were injured on the job due to negligence, you still have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries.
