Construction is among the most dangerous work in Dauphin County, and a serious job-site injury can put you out of work for months. If you were hurt on a building site or road crew anywhere in the county, we help you secure the medical care and wage-loss benefits Pennsylvania law guarantees.
Construction work powers a lot of Dauphin County, from highway crews on I-81 and I-83 to commercial builds in downtown Harrisburg and the warehouses going up across the midstate. It is also some of the most hazardous work anywhere. When a fall, a piece of failing equipment, or another worker’s mistake leaves you injured, Pennsylvania workers’ compensation should cover your treatment and lost wages, and we make sure it does. You work directly with Mike Lerner or Ben Steinberg, and you owe no fee unless we win.
We represent workers hurt in every kind of construction accident, whether the injury happened in a single moment or built up over time on the job.
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, and elevated work platforms — among the most common and serious construction injuries.
Workers hit by falling tools, materials, swinging loads, or moving vehicles and equipment on busy sites.
Injuries from collapsing trenches, shifting materials, or being caught in heavy machinery.
Contact with live wires, faulty wiring, and unsafe equipment, common on both new builds and renovations.
Injuries from cranes, forklifts, nail guns, saws, and other powered equipment that fails or is used unsafely.
Back, knee, and shoulder damage from heavy lifting, climbing, and the physical demands of the trade.
Dauphin County’s building activity runs from the state office complexes and commercial projects in and around Harrisburg to the road and bridge work along the interstate corridors and the warehouse and distribution construction stretching toward Middletown and Steelton. Each setting carries its own risks — highway crews face passing traffic, commercial builds bring height and crane hazards, and industrial sites add heavy machinery to the mix. Whatever the project, an injured construction worker is entitled to the same workers’ compensation protection.
Construction sites are crowded with people and companies that do not work for your employer — subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and general contractors. Workers’ compensation does not pay for pain and suffering, but when one of these outside parties causes your injury, you may have a separate third-party claim on top of your comp benefits. Those claims can recover damages workers’ comp cannot, and we review every construction case to see whether one applies.
A construction injury can keep you off the job for a long stretch, and Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is built to carry you through it. You are entitled to:
