Q: Attorney Tully, if a worker is injured at a construction site are his damages just limited to his wages and medical expenses?
A: No. Your employer is responsible for your wages and medical bills. At a construction site a general contractor, a subcontractor or the maker of the machine that hurt you could be liable for your injuries. Construction injuries are usually serious ones. Recently a construction worker fell about 30 feet off a landing at a construction site. He broke his back, several ribs and injured his leg. His case settled in Philadelphia for over $2 million. Each case is different and that is no guarantee in your situation, but it’s certainly worth a call. No recovery/no fee.
