PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Weitz Firm, LLC has expanded its legal services to focus more heavily on construction accident litigation, offering free consultations for workers, contractors, and pedestrians injured at construction sites throughout West Philadelphia and Spruce Hill. The initiative reinforces the firm’s commitment to workplace safety and fair compensation for those harmed by construction-related accidents, equipment failures, and unsafe job site conditions.
Construction zones remain among the most hazardous work environments in Philadelphia. Common incidents include scaffolding collapses, equipment malfunctions, electrocutions, and falls caused by poor safety oversight. The Weitz Firm’s attorneys specialize in representing victims of these accidents, ensuring that construction companies, property owners, and contractors are held accountable under Pennsylvania labor and safety laws.
Through its free consultation service at www.theweitzfirm.com, victims and their families can assess potential claims and explore compensation options for medical expenses, lost income, disability, and rehabilitation. The firm advises seeking legal counsel immediately following an accident to preserve evidence such as site photos, witness statements, and medical documentation that can strengthen a claim.
Construction injury cases often involve overlapping issues of workers’ compensation, third-party liability, and personal injury law. Many victims sustain spinal cord or brain injuries, fractures, or nerve damage that prevent them from returning to work. The Weitz Firm coordinates with medical providers, insurers, and safety experts to build comprehensive claims supported by OSHA and industry compliance analysis.
Dr. Eric Weitz, founder and managing attorney, emphasized that construction work remains one of the most dangerous professions despite existing regulations. “Too many workers are still being injured by preventable hazards — from faulty equipment to unsafe scaffolding,” he said. “Our expansion ensures that injured workers and their families have access to skilled legal representation and the resources they need to rebuild their lives.”
The firm’s attorneys pursue both workers’ compensation benefits and third-party claims in cases involving equipment defects or negligent site supervision. This dual approach often results in broader financial recovery for victims while encouraging stricter safety standards industry-wide.
The Weitz Firm also represents pedestrians, delivery drivers, and nearby residents injured in construction-related accidents, including those caused by falling debris, unsafe traffic control, or defective materials. Each case undergoes a detailed investigation to identify every responsible party—from general contractors and subcontractors to architects and manufacturers.
By expanding into construction accident representation, The Weitz Firm strengthens its role as an advocate for Philadelphia’s workforce and communities. Operating on a contingency-fee basis, the firm allows clients to pursue justice without upfront legal costs, reflecting its longstanding mission to make high-quality legal representation accessible to all.
