Construction Accidents
You have a right to an environment at work that is safe and free from unreasonably high injury risks.
Compared to most other occupations, construction site workers are more likely to experience workplace injuries. For the victim and their family members, the costs related to these accidents on construction sites can be overwhelming. If you were injured in a construction accident, they might pay for your lost wages while you were off work, medical costs, payment, and a lump sum, but what about future costs and suffering? We have defended construction workers in personal injury cases as seasoned accident attorneys serving New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The injuries suffered in each of these cases as a result of construction accidents on active job sites ranged in severity.
Passersby may occasionally sustain injuries while near construction sites if they are hit by falling debris, unintentionally enter an area that is unattended or has inadequate signage, or if they are involved in a car accident involving construction-related debris or vehicles. Each construction site must be thoroughly inspected by safety engineers and the construction company. Additionally, every employee must have access to practical, appropriate safety equipment and safety programs from your company. The person or party accountable should pay when these precautions are not taken out of indifference or a desire to save money.
Out of every 100 people employed in the construction industry, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 6.3 will sustain an injury and need time off work to recover each year.
A further 11 out of 100,000 people per year pass away on the job, and 1 in 10 employees suffer an injury. This statistic demonstrates how dangerous the construction industry is. Your knowledgeable construction accident attorney will fight for your full compensation, regardless of the financial repercussions of your work-related injuries. Families who may have lost loved ones in fatal accidents on construction sites may file wrongful death lawsuits to recover damages. We are aware that there might be parties involved who are not affiliated with your employer, and we will take the time to learn more.
All parties who might be liable for your injuries, such as the construction company, property owner, contracting or subcontracting company, will send out legal teams right away. If you don’t follow suit, there is no way you can expect to be treated fairly when it comes to pursuing financial compensation for your medical expenses and other losses.
