Construction Safety Is About More Than A Helmet
People who work in construction are not the only ones who can get seriously hurt in construction accidents, particularly in road construction zones. A car accident can affect drivers and passengers as well as workers.
What Kinds Of Accidents Happen On Construction Sites?
We represent clients in claims involving:
- Scaffolding and ladder falls
- Forklift, crane and other heavy equipment accidents
- Power tool accidents
- Garage collapses
- Fires, explosions and chemical exposure
- Falling objects
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Truck accidents
- Dangerous and defective products (e.g., construction equipment or safety equipment)
These accidents are all too common in New Jersey construction sites. The consequences range from short-term injuries that keep you out of work for weeks or months to permanent disability and death. However badly you were hurt, our lawyers will work tenaciously to uncover the cause of your accident and to pursue compensation from all liable parties.
All Construction Injuries Are Serious
Incidents like the ones we discussed above can cause terrible harm to the human body. We represent clients who have experienced all types of bodily injury, including:
- Repetitive stress injuries, such as back injuries from years of lifting and carrying heavy objects cause chronic pain
- Joint damage
- Crushing accidents from a loader, excavator, bulldozer or other machinery
- Cuts and lacerations from a nail gun, drill or other equipment
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries, including in collisions involving trucks and other delivery vehicles
We will work with doctors and other experts to determine exactly how your injuries affect your ability to work, support your family and enjoy life the way you used to and press for the level of compensation you are entitled to under the law.
Was Your Accident Caused By A Negligent Third Party?
Construction accident claims are unique. If you were injured at work, you may have been advised that workers’ compensation is your only available means of recovery. That information, however, may not be accurate.
If your injuries were caused by a third party (someone other than your employer or a co-worker), you may be able to pursue compensation through a third-party liability claim, which is a type of personal injury claim. If you were injured by a dangerous or defective product, you may have a basis to pursue compensation through a product liability claim.
Our attorneys represent clients in workers’ compensation, personal injury, and product liability claims, so we may be able to identify means of recovery that less experienced lawyers might miss.
Let us put our experience to work for you. Our objective is to maximize your recovery.
