Representing Injured Lancaster Construction Workers
Lancaster's building boom spans downtown mixed-use and hospitality projects, manufacturing and food-processing plant expansions, and distribution centers rising along Route 30, Route 222, and Route 283. Crews face falls from heights, scaffold and roofing accidents, being struck by falling materials, forklift and machinery strikes, trench collapses, and electrocutions that cause amputations, crush injuries, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries. Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital operates the county's Level I trauma center.
A Lancaster construction worker hurt on the job often has two separate paths to recovery. Pennsylvania workers' compensation pays for medical care and roughly two-thirds of lost wages regardless of 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 recover pain, suffering, and full wage loss on top of comp. Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, handles the comp claim directly and coordinates any third-party case with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.
