Construction workers understand the risks associated with the job. Working at heights, around heavy machinery, exposed wiring, unstable structures, and multiple contractors creates constant danger. When safety procedures fail, the results can be catastrophic.
From her office in Media, Pennsylvania, Deborah M. Truscello represents injured construction workers and families who are facing serious injuries, lost wages, and uncertainty about their future. With decades of legal experience and a career devoted to representing injured individuals, not insurance companies, Attorney Truscello understands how to navigate both Pennsylvania workers’ compensation claims and complex third-party construction injury lawsuits.
If you were hurt on a construction site, you deserve straightforward legal advice and an attorney who personally handles your case from start to finish.

Construction remains one of the most hazardous industries in the country. Many accidents stem from:
Inadequate safety training
OSHA violations
Improper fall protection
Defective equipment
Unsafe scaffolding
Crane or forklift failures
Poor site supervision
Construction sites often involve multiple contractors and subcontractors working simultaneously. When something goes wrong, responsibility may extend beyond a direct employer.
Attorney Truscello conducts careful investigations to determine whether negligence by a property owner, contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer contributed to the accident.
Deborah M. Truscello represents injured workers in cases involving:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
Falling objects
Trench collapses
Electrocution
Heavy equipment accidents
Forklift and crane failures
Structural collapses
Slip and fall incidents on active job sites
Falls remain the leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities in construction nationwide.
Construction accidents frequently cause:
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Herniated discs
Fractures and crush injuries
Severe burns
Permanent disability
Emotional distress
In the most tragic cases, families lose a loved one. When a fatal construction accident occurs, a wrongful death claim may be pursued under Pennsylvania law.
The financial and emotional toll of these injuries can affect an entire family. Attorney Truscello works directly with each client to understand the full impact of the injury, not just the immediate medical costs.
Most construction employers in Pennsylvania are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. These benefits may cover:
Medical treatment
Wage loss
Specific loss benefits
Death benefits
However, workers’ compensation does not provide damages for pain and suffering or emotional distress.
If a third party’s negligence contributed to the accident, a separate personal injury lawsuit may be filed. That lawsuit may allow recovery for:
Full lost earnings
Future medical costs
Emotional distress
Loss of companionship
Punitive damages in cases of reckless misconduct
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
Construction accident cases require immediate and thorough investigation.
Attorney Truscello works to:
Secure OSHA reports
Review safety documentation
Preserve accident scene evidence
Interview witnesses
Consult qualified experts
Identify every potentially liable party
Insurance companies often argue that injuries were unrelated to work or attempt to shift blame. A carefully prepared case, supported by documentation and a legal strategy, makes a meaningful difference.
With years of experience litigating personal injury and workers’ compensation matters in Pennsylvania, Deborah M. Truscello understands both the administrative and courtroom aspects of construction injury cases.
If you are injured on a job site:
Report the injury to your supervisor immediately.
Seek medical attention without delay.
Follow all reporting requirements under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance representatives.
Speak with a construction accident lawyer before signing documents.
Early legal guidance protects both your workers’ compensation rights and any potential third-party claim.
When hiring a construction accident lawyer, experience and personal attention matter.
