Why Your New Jersey Construction Slip and Fall Accident is as Dramatic as a Crane Accident

Sometimes the most serious New Jersey construction accident injuries are not the most dramatic. While crane accidents, scaffolding accidents, and ladder accidents may make the news headlines, slip or trip and fall accidents can cause injuries that are equally serious.

If you've been hurt in a slip or trip and fall accident on a New Jersey construction site because of:

• A slippery substance such as grease, oil or ice;
• Debris left on the ground;
• Tools and equipment left on the ground; or
• Unsecured buildings, stairs or other structures,

Then you should contact a New Jersey construction accident attorney for a free consultation about your rights.

Your rights are the same whether you are hurt in a slip and fall accident or a fall from a ladder, scaffolding or crane. In any of these situations, you may be entitled to damages for things such as:

• Lost wages
• Medical expenses
• Out of pocket costs
•  Pain and suffering

If your injury occurred because of your employer's negligence, failure to follow OSHA regulations or other misconduct, then the law may allow you to recover for your injuries. However, your employer may not readily provide you with these damages. In many cases, the experience of a New Jersey construction injury lawyer is important to your recovery.
