Construction Site Accidents

New Jersey and New York Construction Site Accident Lawyer

Construction site accidents frequently result in serious injury or lead to the death of workers and passersby. Workers often must lift heavy objects, operate large machinery, and perform job duties at elevated heights. Proper protocol and safety practices are required to decrease the risk of a worker who works on scaffolds or passerby being injured. When someone causes a preventable construction accident through negligence, he or she may be liable for the victim's injuries.

Many clients are referred by friends and family

For example, a general contractor or a supervisor at a construction site is responsible for enforcing and maintaining a certain level of safety. Workers are protected from injuries by OSHA who often are required to make an official investigation on behalf of the federal government. OSHA also sets minimum work place standards which may be helpful in prosecuting a claim. Employers of construction workers must properly train their employees. Companies that manufacture construction equipment must provide proper warnings and insure that the machinery was properly designed and manufactured. When these standards are not met and someone is injured as a result, he or she may be able to sue the manufacturer, supervisor, or employer for damages.
