Why Legal Help Matters After A Construction Injury
Jobsite cases often involve multiple companies, layered insurance, and complex safety rules. We review contracts, site safety plans, OSHA records, and subcontractor roles to identify third-party liability beyond workers' compensation. Our team documents medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and future care. Local familiarity with regional projects and logistics helps us act quickly.
Common Hazards And Injuries
Falls from heights, falling objects, electrical contact, trench collapses, and
equipment malfunctions are frequent hazards. These events can cause fractures, spinal injuries, crush injuries, burns, and traumatic brain injuries. Sites along busy corridors and tight downtown spaces present added risks. We align medical proof with safety violations to show how the incident occurred.
Our Approach To Construction Accident Cases
From day one, The Granda Law Firm issues preservation requests, secures photos and drawings, and interviews trade witnesses. We obtain medical records from facilities such as Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and manage insurer communications. If fair offers do not appear, we file in the proper New Jersey court and keep you informed at each step. You owe no attorney fee unless we win.
New Jersey Rules And Deadlines On Jobsites
Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years, and claims against public entities may require early notice. Workers' compensation typically covers medical care and some wage replacement, but negligent third parties can be pursued for additional damages. We coordinate benefits and timelines to protect your rights. Prompt action preserves critical evidence.
Construction Accident Questions We Hear Often
Can I pursue a claim if I already receive workers' comp?
Yes, workers' compensation covers medical care and certain benefits, but it does not pay for all losses. If a third party such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer contributed to the injury, we can pursue them. Coordination prevents benefit conflicts. This approach can increase total recovery.
Who can be liable on a construction site?
Liability can extend to general contractors, subs, site owners, architects, engineers, and product makers. We review contracts and safety plans to determine who controlled the hazard. Witness statements and photos help assign responsibility. Multiple defendants may mean additional coverage.
What evidence matters most?
Daily reports, subcontractor logs, toolbox talks, photos, and OSHA findings are valuable. We also analyze equipment maintenance records and site drawings. Early preservation avoids lost data. A strong proof package improves negotiation leverage.
How are construction claims valued?
We consider medical treatment, long-term impairment, wage loss, and how the injury affects daily life. Expert opinions and future care plans help document needs. We also examine insurance limits across parties. The goal is a complete accounting, not guesswork.
Do I have to meet in person to get started?
No, most clients begin by phone or video. We can visit the site if needed and meet near Newark, Montclair, Clifton, or Dover. Flexible communication keeps your recovery first. You will always know your next step.
