Construction Injuries

If you have been injured at a construction work site, your legal rights depend on whether you were a worker or a bystander at the site.

When you suffer injuries as a bystander, normal personal injury law applies and the person or company at fault is responsible for recovering compensation to pay for your injuries.

The situation becomes much more complex if you are a construction worker and have been injured on the job.

As a worker, you may be entitled to compensation from more than one source (e.g. property owners, insurance companies, architects, equipment manufacturers).

It is important that you seek the help of an experienced New Jersey construction accident lawyer to be able to obtain the maximum compensation that the law entitles you to receive.

New Jersey Construction Accident Hazards

Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions. Although there are strict regulations, ordinances, statutes, and industry standards that mandate employers to maintain a safe working environment, workers still may face serious injuries at a construction site. Common hazards that may result in death or serious injury are:

  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Loud noises
  • Dust
  • Toxic poisoning
  • Electrocution
  • Forklift accidents
  • Machinery accidents
  • Falling objects
  • Chemical exposure

Workers Compensation for Construction Workers

One source of compensation that is available for construction workers is that of a workers compensation claim.

Depending on your employment situation and degree of liability on your employer’s behalf, your financial compensation may be affected by New jersey workers compensation laws.

The workers compensation act allows for workers to claim benefits when they are injured on the job or suffer an occupational disease, regardless of who was at fault.

“The situation becomes much more complex if you are a construction worker and have been injured on the job.”

Even if the worker is partially or completely at fault for his or her own injury, the employee is entitled to receive benefits arising from workers compensation.
