Construction Site Accident

While general contractors and construction site owners have an obligation to keep sites safe, construction sites are inherently dangerous places where accidents can easily occur.

Due to the nature of the heavy equipment, and the type of intense physical labor called for on construction sites, the types of injuries that arise are often major, resulting in catastrophic injury, and sometimes death.

Injuries at construction sites often require a long convalescence during which you must attend expensive therapy, and cannot work to support a family. Shebell & Shebell, L.L.C. understands the ramifications of construction accident injuries. We can take on the investigation and hire necessary experts, while you heal and spend time with your family.  We will help minimize the economic impact of your injury and argue aggressively for the compensation you deserve.

Construction accident injuries can result from a number of unsafe situations and include:

• Scaffolding accidents
• Ladder accidents
• Roofing and decking accidents
• Crane accidents
• Faulty equipment such as safety belts
• Falls
• Falling materials
• Being struck by materials or machinery
• Chemical leaks
• Explosions
• Electrical accidents
• Trenching accidents
• OSHA violations
• Nail gun injury
• Welding injury
• Forklift injury

The list above is illustrative.  No matter what trade you are in, or what type of NJ construction injury you suffer on your job-site, we can assist you and evaluate your claim.

Your damages can include:

• Medical care and bills
