Construction Accidents We Handle in Harrisburg
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in America. On Harrisburg job sites, the accidents that most often leave workers seriously hurt include:
Capital Region
Representing Injured Harrisburg Construction Workers
Harrisburg's construction workforce rebuilds the Capitol Complex and state office towers, upgrades the aging spans over the Susquehanna, and raises the massive distribution centers clustered where I-81 and I-83 meet near the region's rail and turnpike links. Steel erection, bridge and highway work, roofing, and trench excavation expose crews to falls from heights, scaffold and formwork collapses, being struck by falling materials or vehicles in work zones, crane failures, and trench cave-ins that cause spinal cord injuries, amputations, crush wounds, and traumatic brain injuries. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center provides the region's Level I trauma care.
A Harrisburg construction worker hurt on the job often has two separate claims. Pennsylvania workers' compensation pays for medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of lost wages no matter who was at fault. When a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property 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 case with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.

Harrisburg Construction Accident FAQs
What makes Harrisburg construction sites dangerous?
State-building renovations, Susquehanna bridge work, highway projects, and the I-81/I-83 warehouse boom put crews at heights, in work zones, and around heavy machinery. Falls, struck-by accidents, and crane or trench failures are leading causes of serious construction injuries in Dauphin County.
Can I sue someone besides my employer for a Harrisburg 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.
