Injuries from falls are some of the most common occurrences at New Jersey construction sites. Some of the most frequent incidents include falls from scaffolding, roofs, or, ladders. These falls can result in catastrophic injuries or death. In some cases, workers end up with permanent disabilities that prevent them from ever being gainfully employed again, placing a tremendous financial and emotional strain on the injured person and his or her entire family.

Many construction accidents are entirely preventable, especially if contractors and sub-contractors follow state and federal mandated safety standards to ensure a safe work environment.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a New Jersey construction accident as a result of someone else’s negligence, or, as a result of defective equipment, you may be able to pursue a claim.
