New Jersey on the Job Injury Attorney
Construction sites, even small-site home renovation projects, are dangerous by nature. When reasonable safety measures are not taken, the potential for accidents greatly increases. Yet people routinely do not take safety measures necessary to keep construction sites safe.
If you have been injured in a construction site accident or an on-the-job accident caused by negligence, you may be able to file a legal claim beyond a workers' compensation claim to pay for your medical expenses and other damages relating to the accident. This may be the case if you were a contractor or if the accident was caused because of a third party, not your employer.

Kinds of Work That Can Be Dangerous
When conditions are unsafe, construction workers and contractors can suffer injury while performing repair work, renovation, restoration, installation, improving, painting, constructing, remodeling, moving, or demolishing residential or non-commercial properties.
Injuries include:
- Falls from roofs or faulty scaffolding
- Electrocution from faulty wiring
- Serious burns from scalding water
- Defective machinery causing amputations
- Heavy objects falling causing serious injury
- Ladders collapsing causing serious injury
Investigating cases like these can involve hiring contractors to review the accident scene to discern whether adequate safety measures were taken. We also regularly retain experts who have worked for the Occupational and Safety Health Administration (OSHA), as well as others, to build strong cases for our clients.
