Construction & Utility Workers

Experienced Workers' Compensation Representation for Pennsylvania Construction & Utility Workers

Construction and utility work in Pennsylvania is demanding, physical, and often dangerous. When you're hurt on the job, you may be facing serious injuries, time away from work, and questions about how you'll cover your bills and support your family.

Paula Robinson is certified as a workers' compensation law specialist by the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Section on Workers' Compensation Law, as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and she has spent more than 35 years handling these claims from both sides of the table. That background means she knows how insurance companies build their defenses, and she uses that knowledge on your behalf. Robinson Law LLC represents claimants only, so construction and utility workers hire us knowing we're fully in your corner.

Hazards of Heavy Equipment on Pennsylvania Job Sites

The heavy equipment required to perform construction work brings its own set of dangers. Pennsylvania worksites often include bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, backhoes, excavators, trenchers, graders, pavers, and other large machines. Operating and working around these machines can lead to devastating injuries. Robinson Law LLC has handled many catastrophic claims and can advise you on your specific situation so you can pursue the treatment and benefits you and your family may need.

Utility Work Risks in Pennsylvania

Utility workers, whether they work for electric power, phone, cable, or other services, often suffer falls from vehicles and equipment on the job. Fall injuries can occur when you slip or trip, jump, misstep, or lose your balance while getting into or out of vehicle cabs or when loading and unloading materials. Injuries can also occur while climbing into or out of backhoes, bucket lifts, trucks, or other equipment. Overexertion injuries are common as well and often involve pushing, pulling, lifting, or carrying items such as wrenches, shovels, conductors, pipes and fittings, office equipment, or boxes and cartons. Utility claims can be deceptively complex, and insurance carriers are prepared to challenge them. Paula's experience representing employers and insurers means she's seen those tactics firsthand and can work to counter them.
