Holding Contractors Accountable for Worker Safety

Construction sites are dangerous work environments where workplace-related injuries are common. Naturally, holding contractors accountable for worker safety is important. If you have been injured while working, you deserve to receive compensation. 

Our experienced construction accident attorneys at Lowenthal & Abrams, will help you learn about your rights and work on your behalf to achieve the best possible case outcome.

Contractor Accountability

A contractor is responsible for all employees’ safety, so they must be held accountable to ensure a safe work environment. Many employers will take shortcuts when it comes to executing a project, such as neglecting to sufficiently train employees and provide them with essential tools and safety features. Falls often occur on sites due to a lack of safety gear, old ladders, or inattentiveness and may result in traumatic injuries that can limit an employee’s ability to work. 

If you have suffered an injury while working on a job site, our skilled construction accident attorneys at Lowenthal & Abrams in Philadelphia can help you build a workers’ compensation or personal injury claim.

Evaluating Your Rights

Construction sites have safety features to protect against worker injuries and fatalities. However, regardless of the measures in place, if you suffer an injury while on a construction site, you are likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Additionally, if this injury is due to an equipment malfunction or other product failure, you may also have grounds for a lawsuit against the manufacturer or vendor.
