How to Maximize Compensation in Construction Accidents
Falls from scaffolding and scaffolding collapses are among the most common types of construction accidents in Pennsylvania. These cases can be extremely complex, but an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer can not only sort through the complexities, but find unique ways to maximize compensation.
At Friday & Cox LLC, our lawyers have more than 65 years of combined experience and a record of results that speaks for itself. We have been handling these cases long enough to know exactly where to look to find opportunities to ensure that you get as much compensation as possible.
Opportunity Number One: Workers' Compensation
In scaffolding accidents, as in all workplace accidents, the first form of compensation that injured workers think of is workers' compensation. As workers' compensation attorneys, we take pride in helping you get this type of compensation. However, our experience has taught us that this compensation can be limited. It covers your wages and medical costs, but not the pain and suffering you have been through, so it is critical to look for compensation elsewhere.
Opportunity Number Two: A Personal Injury Claim
Was the scaffolding defective? Was the scaffolding assembled improperly by another contractor at the construction site? Could the scaffolding accident have been prevented if the general contractor had provided proper safety gear? If so, we may be able to pursue a personal injury claim that will allow you to get additional compensation above and beyond that which is offered through workers' compensation.
