Common Types Of Construction Site Accidents In South Jersey

Construction sites are busy, noisy, and full of moving parts. That means accidents can happen in all kinds of ways. Some are minor. Others are devastating.

Here are a few of the most common types of construction accidents we see in NJ:

• Falls from ladders, scaffolding, rooftops, or other heights
• Getting struck by falling objects like tools, materials, or debris
• Electrocution from exposed wires or unfinished electrical systems
• Heavy equipment accidents involving cranes, forklifts, or bulldozers
• Machinery malfunctions or improper use of power tools
• Slip-and-falls caused by uneven surfaces or poor site maintenance
• Trench collapses, wall failures, or structural breakdowns

We've seen it all, and no matter how your injury happened, there's a good chance we can help.

How Our South Jersey Construction Accident Lawyers Can Help

We’re not just here to file paperwork. We’re here to fight for you. To make sure your story gets told. To make sure you get what you’re owed. 

Here's how our South Jersey construction accident attorneys go to work for you:

‍

Investigating The Accident And Gathering Evidence

Right after a construction accident, details can get lost. Equipment gets moved. Witnesses forget. And sometimes people even try to cover their tracks. That’s why we act fast. We go straight to the site (if we can), grab photos, talk to coworkers, and collect all available records. We’ll look at safety reports, accident logs, and anything else that might help explain how and why you got hurt. If needed, we’ll bring in engineers, safety experts, or medical pros to give their take. The more solid the evidence, the stronger your case.

‍

Identifying All Responsible Parties

‍On a construction site, there’s usually more than one company involved and that means more than one possible source of blame. We take a close look at contracts, safety protocols, and who was doing what when the accident happened. Sometimes the blame falls on a subcontractor. Sometimes it’s poor supervision. Sometimes it’s faulty equipment. Sometimes it’s all of the above. Our job is to find every party that may have played a role - because the more sources of responsibility we find, the more paths there are to getting you paid.

‍

Handling Workers’ Comp Claims And Appeals

Filing a workers’ comp claim might sound simple. But in real life? It’s often a headache. There’s paperwork, deadlines, and insurance companies that love to deny or delay. We help you file correctly, fight claim denials, and push for the full benefits you’re owed: medical costs, lost wages, and more. If your claim’s already been denied, don’t worry we can still help.

‍

Filing Personal Injury Or Wrongful Death Lawsuits

If someone outside your employer caused your injury you might have a personal injury claim. We handle those, too. This is where we can push for broader compensation, like pain and suffering, future lost income, and more. In tragic cases where a construction accident led to death, we work with families to file wrongful death claims and hold people accountable.

‍

Negotiating Settlements Or Going To Trial If Needed

‍Most cases settle and that’s great when it happens fairly. But fair doesn’t always come easy. We go toe-to-toe with insurance companies, contractors, and corporate lawyers to get the best possible deal. No rushed decisions. No accepting less just to get it over with. If a fair settlement isn’t on the table, we shift gears and get ready for trial. We’re courtroom-ready from day one, and we don’t back down. 

‍

What Compensation Will I Get For My Construction Accident Case?

Every construction accident case is different, but here are some of the things you may be entitled to in New Jersey:

• Medical expenses (both current and future)
  
• Lost wages and lost future earnings
  
• Pain and suffering
  
• Disability or disfigurement
  
• Costs of rehab or long-term care
  
• Wrongful death benefits (if applicable)
