New Jersey Construction Site Accident Attorney
At the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, P.C., we represent injured South Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania construction workers who have suffered catastrophic injuries in construction site accidents.
If you have been seriously injured, or a loved one has died, you may be able to find financial recovery from several responsible parties. Our New Jersey construction site accident attorneys have a reputation for pursuing all possible sources of financial compensation, including manufacturers of defective equipment, contractors or subcontractors who fail to maintain a safe construction site, and truck drivers who drive recklessly or negligently on the jobsite.

Commercial and residential construction projects inevitably involve many contractors and subcontractors to accomplish the building task. Each person on the job site has his or her own area of responsibility. The failure of one person to do a job properly can have serious consequences for another worker, contributing to unsafe working conditions:
-
electrical hazards
-
damaged equipment
-
unsafe traffic
-
falling debris
For example, it’s common for employees from different companies doing work in the same area to share scaffolding. But who is responsible for ensuring the safety of that scaffolding—for ensuring that safety rails are attached and that safety lanyards are available? If an employee from another company uses that scaffold and falls, the injured worker can sue the company that erected the scaffold for payment for their injuries if the scaffold was constructed improperly .
Construction Injury Lawsuits
One of the biggest challenges, then, in bringing a construction site accident lawsuit is determining who is responsible for the injuries the worker suffered. Every on-the-job injury should be evaluated to see if a third-party claim exists. Our South Jersey scaffolding injury attorneys have an outstanding reputation for finding and pursuing third-party litigation, outside of claims for workers’ compensation.
We have brought lawsuits on behalf of workers in southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey whose scaffolding injury was caused by improper scaffold design that lacked proper bracing or work surfaces. We’ve brought lawsuits on behalf of construction workers whose equipment failed, causing puncture wounds, limb amputation, electrocution, burn injuries, or death.
Wrongful Death Claims
If an employee is killed on the job because his/her employer or a fellow employee acted negligently or recklessly on the jobsite, family members may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit to recover damages and expenses. Every on-the-job death should be reviewed by an experienced attorney to determine if gross negligence contributed to the worker’s death. If you believe your loved one died due to negligence, contact a New Jersey construction site accident attorney at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano.
Workers’ Compensation
If you were injured on the job, you have a workers’ compensation claim, but what can you do if your employer tells you they don’t carry workers' compensation insurance? Many fly-by-night construction companies don’t, leaving their workers deeply in debt. Do you have any options?
YES, the New Jersey construction site accident at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano will help you bring a lawsuit directly against your employer to recover money for your injuries. Talk to an experienced construction site accident lawyer about your case.
