Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in America. On Bethlehem job sites, the accidents that most often leave workers seriously hurt include:
Lehigh Valley
Representing Injured Bethlehem Construction Workers
Bethlehem's construction boom runs from the ongoing redevelopment of the former Bethlehem Steel site around SteelStacks to hospital and university expansions and the distribution centers rising along the I-78 and Route 22 corridors that define the Lehigh Valley. Steel erection, demolition and adaptive-reuse work, roofing, and fast-tracked warehouse schedules expose crews to falls from heights, scaffold and structural collapses, falling materials, crane and forklift accidents, and electrocutions that cause amputations, crush injuries, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries. St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill provides the region's Level I trauma care.
A Bethlehem construction worker hurt on the job may have two claims. Pennsylvania workers' compensation covers medical costs and about 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 add pain, suffering, and full wage loss. As a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, Michael Cardamone handles the comp claim directly and coordinates any third-party claim with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.

Bethlehem Construction Accident FAQs
What kinds of construction projects cause injuries in Bethlehem?
Redevelopment of the former Bethlehem Steel site, demolition and adaptive-reuse work, hospital and university expansions, and Lehigh Valley warehouse construction combine heights, heavy steel, and demolition hazards that drive falls, struck-by, and caught-in accidents.
Can I sue someone besides my employer for a Bethlehem construction accident?
Often yes. Workers' compensation is no-fault and generally bars suing your own employer, but you can pursue a separate third-party claim against a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner whose negligence caused your injury.
