Common Types of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can result from many causes, often stemming from negligence or failure to follow safety regulations. At Fulginiti Law, we handle cases involving:

Scaffolding Collapses
Accidents caused by poorly constructed or maintained scaffolding often lead to severe injuries.

Equipment Failures
Malfunctioning machinery, such as cranes, forklifts, and nail guns, can cause devastating accidents.

OSHA Violations
Employers are required to follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Failure to comply can lead to serious injuries.

Falls and Slips
Falls from heights and slips on uneven or unsafe surfaces are among the most common causes of workplace injuries.

Electrical Accidents
Contact with live wires or improperly maintained electrical systems poses a significant hazard.

 

Your Legal Rights as an Injured Construction Worker

Construction workers in New Jersey are protected under state and federal laws, including the right to a safe workplace. If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to:

Worker Compensation Benefits
These benefits cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs, regardless of who was at fault.

Third-Party Liability Claims
If a third party (e.g., equipment manufacturer, subcontractor) is responsible for your injury, you may file a personal injury lawsuit for additional damages.

Wrongful Death Claims
Families of workers who have lost their lives in construction accidents may seek compensation for their loss.

 

Steps to Take After a Construction Accident

If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health should be your top priority. Obtain immediate treatment and keep records of all medical expenses and treatments.
  2. Report the Incident: Notify your employer and ensure the accident is documented.
  3. Document the Scene: Take photos of the site, your injuries, and any unsafe conditions that contributed to the accident.
