Pittsburgh Construction Accidents Attorney.
37 Years of Legal Assistance to Workers and Others Injured on Construction Sites.
Construction site accidents are among the most common causes of workplace injuries, and with good reason. Construction sites are dangerous. The chances of tripping, falling, being crushed, being hit by a vehicle and being injured from machinery is much higher on construction sites than on almost any other common location.
Although construction site accidents my seem "inevitable", many accidents are in fact quite avoidable. There are a number of safety regulations in place to govern workplace safety, and if these rules are broken, injuries are more likely to result. When developers, builders, contractors and others fail in their duty to protect you, they are liable for damages and injuries.
If you have been injured on a construction site, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, personal injury law firm of Howard F. Messer, P.C. can provide experienced help. Firm founder and attorney Howard Messer is a battle-tested personal injury and trial attorney who has:
- Litigated hundreds of personal injury cases in court
- Handled over 7,000 personal injury claim
- Practiced personal injury law for 37 years
Have you been injured in a construction or remodeling project, as an employee or as a site visitor? Were you injured by the actions of a contractor or subcontractor other than your employer? We have helped hundreds of people injured by cars, trucks, crane collapses, tools and machinery on construction sites, as well as people injured from falls, scaffolding, trenches and other workplace hazards.
One notable case among many illustrates our effectiveness. In 2003 a truck veered off a road onto a construction site, killing five people. As lead counsel, Mr. Messer obtained $1 million in insurance coverage compensation for the survivors of the victims, as well as an additional $3.5 million directly from the truck's owner.
