How Can a Construction Site Accident Attorney Help?

Union City construction accidents can involve complex factors.

Hiring a lawyer means you can focus on healing while a professional handles the difficult aspects of your claim on your behalf. An attorney can hold the right party/parties accountable for your losses while you spend time in the hospital or with your family.

Common Construction Site Accidents

According to OSHA, construction is the deadliest industry in America. In 2018 alone, over 1,000 workers died at construction sites nationwide. Construction site deaths accounted for over one-fifth of all worker fatalities in private industry. Many different hazards can cause construction site deaths and injuries, but four main risks caused more than half of all deaths in construction in 2018.

  • Falls
  • Struck-by objects
  • Electrocutions
  • Caught-in/between objects or equipment

These are the top risks for construction site workers in New Jersey. As a pedestrian or bystander, common risks include motor vehicle accidents, structural collapses and unsafe construction sites. It is up to a construction site manager to ensure the reasonable safety of a site for workers and pedestrians. The neglect to do so could result in preventable injuries and deaths.

Do You Have a Claim?

As a construction site accident survivor, you may have grounds to bring an injury lawsuit against one or more parties in pursuit of financial compensation. A successful lawsuit, however, takes proving the existence of four main elements.

  1. The defendant owed you a duty of care.
  2. The defendant did something that went against his or her duty of care.
  3. The defendant’s negligence caused your damages.
  4. You suffered specific and compensable losses as a result.

A negligence-based lawsuit against a construction company, site manager, property owner, equipment manufacturer, individual, corporation or the government could end in fair recompense for your losses. Speak to an attorney to determine the identity of the defendant in your case.
