PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Weitz Firm, LLC said it has expanded its construction accident practice across North Philadelphia and Hunting Park, aiming to increase legal support for workers and bystanders injured on active job sites in some of the city’s busiest construction corridors.
The expansion broadens the firm’s focus on injuries tied to scaffolding failures, crane incidents, equipment malfunctions, falls from height, and other hazards associated with large-scale construction projects. The firm said the initiative is designed to address workplace injuries affecting construction workers, contractors, tradespeople, and members of the public exposed to unsafe job conditions.
Construction accident claims in dense urban neighborhoods often involve layered responsibility across general contractors, subcontractors, site supervisors, and equipment providers. The firm said its approach centers on examining labor law compliance, OSHA safety standards, site management practices, and accident documentation to determine liability and pursue claims tied to negligence and unsafe conditions.
The Weitz Firm said it is offering free consultations as part of the expansion, giving injured workers and families access to early legal guidance and case evaluations. Construction injury cases frequently intersect with workers’ compensation systems while also raising potential third-party liability and premises liability issues, particularly when defective equipment or improper site oversight is alleged.
Injuries stemming from construction accidents can include head trauma, spinal injuries, fractures, crush injuries, electrical burns, and long-term mobility impairments. Legal claims often require detailed review of accident reports, safety logs, medical records, and regulatory findings, including OSHA citations and inspection results.
The firm said the expanded practice reflects growing demand for specialized legal analysis as construction activity intensifies across North Philadelphia. By increasing its presence in the area, the firm aims to address the complexity of construction accident litigation while pursuing accountability for safety failures that result in serious injury or loss of life.
