New Jersey Construction Accident Lawyers

Helping victims of construction accidents recover compensation

Construction workers risk their lives every time they step onto the job site. Dodging risks like being caught on or in between machinery or equipment, falling from ladders and scaffolding, being struck by building materials or parts, or being electrocuted by poorly managed electricity can be tricky. These risks are the “fatal four” of construction accidents and are the most common.

Often, the fault of the accident does not lie with the victim, but with the site manager or company in charge of the project. These types of accidents can cause serious injuries or even death and often result in extremely large financial losses on the part of the victim, not to mention the pain and suffering that is endured. Our team of New Jersey construction accident attorneys works aggressively to recover the maximum settlement possible for construction workers who have been injured on site. We have been representing construction accident victims for over 60 years.

Understanding Your Rights After a Construction Accident

After a construction accident, navigating the legal landscape can be overwhelming. It's essential to understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation. At Bendit Weinstock, we believe that knowledge is power, and our team is dedicated to empowering you with the information you need to make informed decisions.

Here are some key points to consider:

• Workers' Compensation: If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits, which can cover medical expenses and lost wages.
• Third-Party Claims: In some cases, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against a third party (such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer) if their negligence contributed to your accident.
• Statute of Limitations: Be aware of the time limits for filing a claim. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident.
• Gathering Evidence: Documenting the accident scene, collecting witness statements, and obtaining medical records are crucial steps in building a strong case.

Our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that you understand your rights and receive the compensation you deserve. Don't hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to discuss your case.

Injuries That Can Result from Construction Accidents

Building bridges, roads, and skyscrapers is a dangerous job. When the job site is not up to safety codes and regulations, it becomes even more dangerous. Often, when the sponsor of a construction project is negligent about safety, the construction workers get hurt.

There are many types of injuries that can be sustained in a construction accident, including:

• Broken bones
• Damage to soft tissue
• Injury to spinal cord
• Brain injury
• Amputation
• Back injury
• Death
