How Construction Accidents And Injuries Occur
Construction sites are inherently hazardous, with numerous potential risks and OSHA violations increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Some common causes of construction site accidents include:
● Falling from elevated platforms, scaffolding or ladders
● Being struck by falling objects like tools, construction materials or debris
● Electrocution from contact with exposed wires, power lines or faulty electrical systems
● Heavy machinery and construction equipment failures and mishaps like forklift accidents
● Wet surfaces, uneven ground, and cluttered walkways can cause workers and bystanders to slip, trip and fall
● Fires and explosions due to flammable materials, gas leaks and improper storage of hazardous substances
● Exposure to hazardous substances like chemicals, asbestos or other toxic materials
Various parties may be held liable for victim injuries, including construction companies, property owners, equipment manufacturers and subcontractors. Identifying all responsible parties can help you pursue a successful injury claim and receive the compensation you deserve.
Financial Damages For Injured Construction Accident Victims
Filing a compensation claim is an essential step for those harmed in New Jersey construction accidents. Victims may be entitled to various types of injury damages, such as:
● Injury-related medical expenses
● Replacement of lost wages
● Ongoing injury pain and suffering
● Emotional distress or anguish
● Replacement of rehabilitation costs
● Loss of current and future earning capacity
It is important to act quickly, as New Jersey law provides only two years in most cases to file an injury claim or lawsuit. Failing to meet these deadlines can result in losing the right to seek compensation.
