Schuster Law has released information outlining the legal rights of workers injured on construction sites across Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The firm represents individuals involved in accidents arising from unsafe working conditions, equipment failures, and third-party negligence in the construction industry.
“Construction sites present multiple overlapping responsibilities among contractors, property owners, and employers,” said Ken R. Schuster, Esq., founder and managing attorney of Schuster Law. “Our role is to determine which parties may be legally accountable and to ensure that every case is evaluated under both workers’ compensation and civil liability frameworks.”
Established in 1998 and based in Media, Pennsylvania, Schuster Law provides representation for clients throughout Delaware County and surrounding regions. The firm’s construction accident practice covers incidents involving falls, scaffolding failures, machinery malfunctions, electrical hazards, and struck-by or caught-between injuries. Each case is reviewed in accordance with Pennsylvania’s workplace safety standards and applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
The construction industry remains one of the highest-risk employment sectors for injury and fatality rates. Schuster Law assists injured workers and their families in understanding how Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Compensation Act interacts with potential third-party claims. While workers’ compensation provides wage-replacement and medical benefits, it does not address negligence by non-employers such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners. The firm evaluates each incident to determine whether an additional civil claim may exist beyond the workers’ compensation system.
Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and elevated platforms are among the most frequent construction-site injuries. Schuster Law reviews site inspection reports, safety-harness policies, and contractor supervision records to assess whether proper safety measures were followed. In cases involving equipment or machinery failures, the firm consults mechanical experts to identify design or maintenance defects that may establish manufacturer liability.
Electrical and trenching accidents are another area of concern. The firm analyzes whether safety training, signage, and personal protective equipment met regulatory standards. When injuries occur due to inadequate site planning or supervision, Schuster Law helps identify whether general contractors or site managers failed to enforce required safety practices.
Beyond individual claims, Schuster Law handles wrongful death actions on behalf of families who lose loved ones in construction-related incidents. These cases require compliance with Pennsylvania’s Wrongful Death and Survival Acts, which govern the distribution of damages and procedural filing requirements. The firm ensures that claims are submitted within statutory deadlines and supported by necessary documentation such as coroner reports, medical records, and witness statements.
The attorneys at Schuster Law coordinate closely with medical and occupational experts to calculate damages that accurately reflect long-term consequences. This may include lost earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and future medical treatment. The firm’s structured approach is designed to ensure that all economic and non-economic losses are properly documented before negotiations or trial proceedings.
Ken R. Schuster, Esq., brings more than three decades of legal experience to the firm’s personal injury and workplace accident practice. His background includes representation before Pennsylvania state and federal courts, as well as administrative hearings involving workers’ compensation disputes. Under his leadership, Schuster Law maintains a focus on procedural accuracy, ethical advocacy, and clear communication throughout the claims process.
From its Media office, Schuster Law serves clients across Delaware County, including Chester, Springfield, Upper Darby, and surrounding municipalities.
