Pennsylvania Lawyers for Construction Accidents

Not all construction site injuries are workers' compensation issues. Many construction accidents are caused by defective products, or by the negligence of vendors or subcontractors working on the job site.

In these situations, the best results may be achieved by working with lawyers who know personal injury law. At the Western and Central Pennsylvania law firm of Stoehr & Smith, L.L.C., we use 45 years of combined experience to take legal action — getting positive results for construction accident victims throughout western and central Pennsylvania and Maryland.

We represent workers and bystanders who have experienced a wide range of injuries in construction accidents caused by dangerous conditions including scaffolding falls, objects falling from roofs, dangerous and defective equipment, and gas explosions:

• Brain and head injuries
• Spinal cord, back and neck injuries
• Injuries to joints
• Burns
• Loss of limbs
• Fatality

Preparing Your Construction Accident Case for Trial

It is common knowledge that the great majority of personal injury cases settle before they ever go to trial but, at Stoehr & Smith, L.L.C., we still prepare each case as is if it were headed for the courtroom. This preparation alerts the insurance company that our attorneys are prepared, and often results in a higher settlement.

We bring in top-notch experts and investigators to investigate the facts surrounding your construction accident. This includes forensic engineers specially trained to determine the cause of the accident and to pinpoint responsibility on the negligent defendant.

When insurance companies and the people responsible for your injuries see this, they often make decisions — like offering a favorable settlement — that keep your case out of court.

Of course, if your construction accident case does go to trial, we are fully prepared to get you positive results. We are aggressive and experienced litigators always prepared and poised to win your case.
