When
a worker is injured on a construction site, the worker more than likely
has a workers compensation claim. However, under Pennsylvania’s workers
compensation laws, a workers compensation claim does not provide
benefits for pain, suffering, loss of life’s pleasures, the true value
of the economic loss or the affect of the injury on the non-injured
spouse . Rather, workers compensation claims only pay a percentage of
the wages the employee received up to a certain point.
With
any construction injury, a trial lawyer must always evaluate whether
there is a potential third party case which would open the door for
recoveries otherwise barred by the Pennsylvania Workers Compensation
Statute. For example, was the injury caused by a defective piece of
equipment such as a ladder, crane, hoist, conveyor, tractor, forklift,
machine, product defect or the negligence of another.
Severe
injuries to construction workers are devastating. Since construction
work is usually heavy duty and there is frequently no light or moderate
duty work available, a serious injury can mean a loss of career and economic stability. Since
tradesmen are usually well paid and have excellent benefits, it's almost
impossible for the injured worker to find a comparable job. Indeed,
many households end up in divorce over this tragedy because of the
financial stress.
