Construction Brain Injury Representation for Pittsburgh Workers
With ongoing bridge work, downtown high-rise construction, and major infrastructure projects, Pittsburgh's construction sites carry serious risks of traumatic brain injury from scaffolding falls, crane accidents, falling objects, trench collapses, and struck-by incidents. Injured workers are treated at UPMC Presbyterian and Allegheny General Hospital's trauma centers.
A Pittsburgh construction worker who suffers a brain injury on the job may have two claims: a Pennsylvania workers' compensation claim for medical treatment and wage loss regardless of fault, and a third-party personal injury claim when a contractor, equipment maker, or property owner caused the injury. As a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, Michael Cardamone handles the workers' comp claim and coordinates any third-party claim with our Personal Injury colleagues.
