Lehigh Valley
Representing Injured Allentown Construction Workers
Allentown and the greater Lehigh Valley sit at the center of a massive distribution-center and warehouse build-out fed by the I-78 and Route 22 corridors. Steel erection, tilt-up concrete panels, roofing, and fast-tracked schedules push crews hard and raise the risk of falls from heights, scaffold collapses, falling materials, forklift and equipment strikes, and crane accidents — producing amputations, crush injuries, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries. Lehigh Valley Health Network's Cedar Crest campus and St. Luke's provide the region's trauma care.
An Allentown construction worker hurt on the job may have two claims. Pennsylvania workers' compensation pays medical costs and roughly two-thirds of lost wages regardless of fault. When a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or site owner other than your employer caused the accident, a third-party personal injury claim can recover pain, suffering, and full wage loss too. Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, handles the comp claim directly and coordinates any third-party claim with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.

Allentown Construction Accident FAQs
Are Lehigh Valley warehouse construction jobs especially dangerous?
Yes. The region's rapid warehouse and distribution-center construction involves steel erection, work at heights, heavy machinery, and tight deadlines — a combination that drives falls, struck-by, and caught-in accidents causing serious injuries.
Can I file both workers' comp and a lawsuit for my Allentown construction injury?
Often yes. You are entitled to workers' compensation regardless of fault, and if a contractor, equipment maker, or property owner other than your employer caused the injury, you may also have a third-party claim for additional damages.
