Northeastern Pennsylvania
Representing Injured Scranton Construction Workers
Scranton and Lackawanna County anchor one of the country's fastest-growing distribution regions, with massive fulfillment and warehouse projects along I-81 and I-84 and ongoing renovation of the area's historic downtown and former coal-era buildings. Construction crews here face falls from steel and roofs, scaffold collapses, falling loads, forklift and heavy-equipment accidents, electrocutions, and trench cave-ins that cause amputations, crush injuries, paralysis, and traumatic brain injuries. Geisinger Community Medical Center provides regional trauma care.
A Scranton construction worker hurt on the job often has two claims. Pennsylvania workers' compensation covers medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of lost wages regardless of fault. When a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment maker, 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 claim with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.

Why are there so many construction injuries around Scranton?
The I-81 corridor's warehouse and fulfillment-center boom, combined with downtown and historic-building renovation, keeps large crews working at heights and around heavy equipment. Falls, scaffold collapses, and struck-by and caught-in accidents are leading causes of serious injury in Lackawanna County.
Do I have a third-party case for my Scranton construction accident?
You may. If someone other than your employer — a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — caused your injury, you can pursue a third-party claim for full damages in addition to workers' compensation.
