Construction and Manufacturing Workers

Construction sites, manufacturing plants, and warehouses can be dangerous places. Workplace injuries can be severe - and can even result in wrongful death. If you have been injured at work on a construction site or in a factory or warehouse, you may be entitled to full benefits under workers' compensation.

Make sure you understand and protect your right to workers' compensation. Contact a Philadelphia workers' comp attorney at Fenner & Boles today.

Construction Accidents

If you are a construction worker, you know that excavations, tall buildings, heavy equipment, complex machinery, and power tools can lead to serious injury. A fall may be caused by defective scaffolding and electric burns may result from dangerous temporary wiring.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, make sure you understand workers' compensation and the benefits you are entitled to.

If your accident involved dangerous machinery - such as a chain saw or nail gun with improper safety mechanisms or a defective ladder - you may also have a product liability claim against the manufacturer. Talk to a Philadelphia construction accident attorney at Fenner & Boles today.

Manufacturing and Warehouse Accidents

When an unsafe conveyor grabs a worker's sleeve, when a forklift falls over, or when materials on high shelves fall on a worker, the injuries can be terrible. A forklift accident or chemical burns may leave you unable to return to work.

Know your rights. An employer may try to minimize your injuries and say you do not need to file a workers' comp claim.

When you talk to a workers' compensation lawyer at Fenner & Boles, we will make sure you are treated with the respect and attention you deserve. Make sure to tell our lawyers all the details of your accident. You may be entitled to other compensation, including Social Security disability or long-term disability benefits.

Manufacturing and Construction Accident Injuries

On-the-job accidents can result in many types of workplace injuries, such as:

• Amputation
• Back, neck or spinal cord injury
• Electrical shock or chemical burns
• Traumatic brain injury
• Hearing loss

A relatively minor injury like a fractured ankle could result in a neurological disorder known as RSD. A back injury could prevent a factory worker from returning to a job he or she has done for many years. Do not settle a claim until you are sure you know the full extent of your medical condition and how it will affect your future.
