Job Site Motor Vehicle Accidents

Because of the inherent dangers associated with construction sites, it is imperative that owners and general contractors use reasonable care to minimize the risk of injury. Unfortunately, far too often this does not happen. In their efforts to minimize expenses and maximize profit, owners and contractors often cut corners and worker safety becomes less of a priority. If you have been hurt on a construction site because of the wrongful conduct of an owner or general contractor, the attorneys at Shaffer & Gaier can help.

At Shaffer & Gaier, our lawyers have more than 45 years of combined legal experience representing people in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Though we understand that the facts of every case are different, we always take the same approach, using our extensive skill, knowledge, experience and resources to help you pursue the best result in a timely and cost-effective manner. To help us properly assess your medical condition and needs, we have a registered nurse as a full-time member of our staff. We will take the time to learn all the details of your accident, and to help you understand your rights and options so that you can make intelligent decisions about your future.

We offer a free initial consultation. For an appointment, contact our office online, or call us in Philadelphia at 215-751-0100 or in New Jersey at 856-429-0970.
