Construction Vehicle Rollover Accidents
Much attention has been paid to commuter vehicle accidents and the high-frequency of injuries that occur when a vehicle rolls over. Unfortunately, such accidents also commonly occur with construction vehicles, and may cause injuries to workers operating the vehicle and others who may be working in the area.
If an employee suffers injury due to a vehicle rollover accident, he or she may find that it is difficult to perform the required duties of his or her job. In addition, serious injuries may require hospitalization and costly medical care for treatment and rehabilitation. If you have suffered injury in a vehicle rollover accident on the job, contact the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 to discuss the facts of your case.
