Construction Site Accidents in New Jersey

Why Construction Site Accidents Are Unique

Construction sites combine heavy machinery, elevated work zones, shifting crews and constantly changing hazards. Unlike a typical slip-and-fall, these accidents often involve multiple responsible parties—general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers and site owners—and both federal (OSHA) and state (PEOSH) safety regulations. That complexity makes uncovering liability and maximizing compensation a specialized task.

Common Causes & Typical Injuries

Falls from Height

Unstable scaffolds, missing guardrails and unsecured ladders can send workers tumbling, often resulting in fractures, spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries.

Struck-By & Falling Objects

Tools, building materials or debris dropped from above can cause concussions, skull fractures or other blunt-force trauma.

Caught-In/Between Machinery

Unguarded gears, trench cave-ins and heavy equipment rollovers can crush limbs or lead to catastrophic amputations.

Electrocutions

Contact with live wiring, defective power tools or improper lock-out/tag-out procedures can produce severe burns, nerve damage or fatalities.

Repetitive Strain & Overexertion

Continuous lifting, hammering or operating heavy equipment without breaks can cause tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or debilitating back injuries.
