How much are construction accident cases worth?

Construction settlements typically range 3-10 times higher than workers’ compensation alone due to catastrophic injuries, third-party liability, and multiple responsible parties.

What evidence disappears quickly?

OSHA documentation, surveillance footage, and equipment maintenance records can vanish within days without immediate preservation letters.

Why need a specialized construction lawyer?

Construction accidents involve complex OSHA regulations, multiple defendants, and corporate legal teams that general workers’ compensation lawyers can’t handle effectively.

They Cut Corners on Safety. We Make Them Pay for It.

Construction sites are governed by strict OSHA safety standards, and when those rules are violated, that evidence can establish negligence; if it’s preserved before it disappears.

As your Philadelphia construction accident lawyers, Snyder Law Group acts fast to lock down safety records and build a case contractors can’t dismiss.

Why Philadelphia Needs An Experienced Trial Construction Accident Lawyer

Philadelphia’s construction industry employs over 121,000 workers building throughout the city. Pennsylvania recorded 30 construction worker deaths in 2023 – more than any other industry – with thousands more suffering life-altering injuries. Construction accident victims need trial lawyers who aren’t intimidated by corporate teams and will take cases to verdict when necessary, because companies only offer fair settlements when facing attorneys who actually win in Philadelphia courtrooms.

Legal Expertise + Construction Workers Medical Care Protection

OSHA construction safety laws create complex liability that works in your favor when properly leveraged, but construction companies exploit victim confusion to deny claims and delay treatment. Our experienced trial attorneys eliminate both barriers.

Key construction safety laws we use to maximize your compensation:

Fall Protection Standards: Required at 6 feet or higher – violations establish negligence
OSHA Documentation: Safety violation records that disappear without preservation letters
Multiple Insurance Policies: General contractors carry $1-5 million vs. $15,000 for typical accidents
Multiple Liable Parties: General contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers all responsible

Our legal and medical advantages:

Immediate Action: We secure medical care and send preservation letters within hours
Medical Bill Protection: Healthcare providers defer payment until case resolution with our guarantee
Expert Networks: Top medical experts who provide powerful courtroom testimony

Don’t let adjusters convince you that workers’ compensation limits your recovery. We handle both the legal fight and ensure you get necessary medical care for devastating construction injuries.

Construction Accident Cases We Handle:

Breaking through the Insurance Company’s Shield

Snyder Law Group has built expertise across all types of construction accidents. For over three decades, we’ve successfully represented victims of every kind of construction site injury, consistently delivering results that far exceed what settlement-focused attorneys achieve.

We handle all construction accident cases including:

Electrocution and power line contact – Deadly accidents from overhead lines or faulty equipment causing severe burns. We demonstrate inadequate safety protocols and preventable deaths.

Struck-by accidents and falling objects – Tools and materials falling from heights cause 17% of construction deaths. Cases frequently involve multiple defendants including contractors and crane operators.

Caught-in/between and trench collapses – Heavy machinery and excavation accidents on Philadelphia projects. We prove negligent safety practices using visual trial exhibits.

Equipment failures and defective machinery – Manufacturers face liability when defective design causes injuries. We obtain maintenance records proving negligent operations.

Multi-contractor liability and wrongful death – Complex cases involving multiple contractors triggered by safety failures. We fight for compensation covering future medical needs and lost earning capacity.

 Snyder Law Group worked for and with me through my case and all the hardships of COVID. After my car accident I was lost trying to navigate the world of car insurance, health insurance, health care, disability, unemployment and more. They helped me through it all and won. If ever I needed to (hopefully not!), I would definitely go back to this family law firm.

 Bob and Eric and their team worked for almost 4 years for me on back to back cases. Even when covid slowed things down they kept me updated frequently and made sure I was well prepared for my depositions and appearances. We won the first case and settled pre-trial with the second both with great results and I couldn’t be happier. I’m glad I walked into their office all those years ago, it ended being a life changing experience!
