Representing Workers, Residents in Philadelphia
Construction accidents can be catastrophic, resulting in permanent injuries or fatalities. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a construction accident due to someone else's negligence, you need highly qualified legal representation to help you protect your rights and pursue compensation for your suffering, medical bills and lost wages. For four decades, the attorneys at Gilligan & Peppelman have been helping people injured on Philadelphia construction sites.
While construction workers and their families are the most common victims of construction accidents, we recognize that pedestrians, delivery drivers, inspectors and other people also can be hurt.
We advise you to seek timely legal representation if you or a loved one has been injured, because there are time limits for bringing a personal injury case.

Who Was At Fault?
Construction can be a dangerous profession, but workers are entitled to a safe workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration mandates compliance with safety standards for cranes, steel erection, work zones and other construction aspects.
Combining our knowledge of OSHA guidelines with our extensive experience in personal injury law, we will investigate the circumstances and build a strong case for you.
We handle cases involving:
- Crane accidents
- Scaffolding accidents
- Lack of protective equipment or clothing
- Roofing accidents
- Falling objects
- Ladder injuries
- Slips, falls
- Electrocutions
- Defective machinery
- Lack of adequate fencing or railings
In addition to your personal injury claim, we can guide you through the process to receive workers' compensation benefits if you were working on the construction site.
If you were injured while walking by or visiting a construction site, you may be able to recover damages from the construction company, which is responsible for placing barriers next to building pits and keeping public sidewalks near its construction site clear of debris.
Third-Party Liability
We also can help you bring third-party liability claims against other parties who may have caused the accident, such as property owners, subcontractors, architects, and equipment manufacturers. These claims can maximize your recovery in personal injury cases.
If your injury was severe, you may need a settlement that will cover a year or a lifetime of lost income. We have obtained six- and seven-figure sums for clients, and we are committed to obtaining the best possible compensation for your case. You will not be charged by our firm unless we recover compensation for you.
