Construction Brain Injury Representation for Philadelphia Workers
From high-rise towers in Center City to warehouse and infrastructure projects across the river wards and Northeast Philadelphia, construction workers face daily risks of traumatic brain injury from scaffolding collapses, falls from heights, falling tools and materials, crane accidents, and being struck by equipment. Injured workers are treated at the city's leading trauma centers — Penn Presbyterian, Jefferson, and Temple University Hospital.
A Philadelphia construction worker with a job-related brain injury may have two claims: a Pennsylvania workers' compensation claim for medical care and wage loss regardless of fault, and a third-party personal injury claim when a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner caused the injury. Michael Cardamone handles the workers' comp claim as a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist and coordinates any third-party claim with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues.

Philadelphia Construction Brain Injury FAQs
What should I do after a construction brain injury in Philadelphia?
Get medical care immediately at a trauma center, report the injury to your employer in writing, and contact a lawyer before speaking with the insurance company. Attorney Michael Cardamone offers free 24/7 consultations and can preserve evidence from the job site.
Can I sue a third party for my Philadelphia construction accident?
Often yes.
