Construction Accident Lawyer in New Jersey & Pennsylvania

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents happen in many forms, but some of the most frequent causes include:

• Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or elevated surfaces
• Machinery malfunctions or improper equipment use
• Electrocutions and contact with live wires
• Being struck by falling objects or collapsing structures
• Slips and trips on unsafe surfaces

Even a seemingly minor accident can result in long-term medical issues, permanent disabilities, or extended time away from work. Recognizing the cause of an accident is critical for pursuing a claim and holding negligent parties accountable.

Workers’ Compensation and Legal Rights

Injured construction workers may be eligible for workers’ compensation, which provides medical coverage and wage replacement benefits. However, determining workers’ comp eligibility can be complicated, especially when multiple employers or subcontractors are involved. Understanding your rights is essential to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost income, and long-term care.
