Philadelphia Construction Accident Attorney 

Filing Premises Liability Claims for a Construction Accident

There are countless dangerous conditions throughout any construction site, all of which can lead to a serious or fatal injury if proper caution isn’t taken.  Construction companies have an obligation to ensure the construction zone is as safe as possible, as well as to display warning signs to deter members of the public from coming too close.  When a construction company fails to ensure the premises are safe, and as a result someone suffers a serious or fatal injury, the construction company can be sued for damages.

Why Do I Need an Attorney?

If you have suffered an injury on a construction site, you should strongly consider speaking with a knowledgeable and well-practiced Philadelphia construction accident attorney like Thomas Murphy.   This especially holds true if you were working on the construction site when the injury occurred.  As an employee of the construction company, you may not be eligible to file a lawsuit against your employer.  If you do, you may wave your rights to recover workers’ compensation benefits.  In fact, it’s much easier to obtain benefits under workers’ compensation than it is to recover damages in a premises liability lawsuit.  To recover workers’ compensation benefits, all you’ll need to do is establish that you suffered an injury while on the job. 

There are some cases however where a construction worker may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit, so it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney who can review your claim to inform you of your rights and legal options.
