Heavy equipment such as bulldozers, graders, excavators, back hoes, wheel loaders, cranes, dump trucks and conveyors can cause devastating injuries and death to workers on construction sites. If you have been injured or a loved one killed in a construction accident involving heavy equipment, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturer, contractor or operator.
At Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck, P.C., our attorneys have extensive experience helping construction workers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Boston and nationwide obtain compensation for their medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Third-Party Liability Claims and Workers' Compensation
If you are injured on the job, you are entitled to workers compensation benefits. However, workers' compensation benefits are limited and do not provide you with compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, and loss of life's pleasures.
If your injury is caused by the negligence of a third party (someone who does not work for your employer), you may be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the third party. Examples of third parties may include:
- The manufacturer of the equipment
- The operator of the equipment, if he or she does not work for your employer
- The company responsible for servicing the equipment
- The general contractor or other subcontractor charged with safety on the jobsite
Our lawyers will carefully investigate every aspect of your construction site accident to determine if a third party was responsible for your injury. We are dedicated to helping you obtain full compensation for your losses.
