Construction accidents change lives in seconds. A falling beam, equipment failure, or collapsed scaffold can cause devastating injuries that affect victims and their families for years. Throughout Monmouth County, construction sites fuel economic growth but remain among America’s most hazardous workplaces. After a serious accident, victims must navigate complex legal challenges while trying to recover physically and financially.

Your Legal Options After a Construction Accident

The pathway to compensation depends on your relationship to the construction site and the specific circumstances of your accident:

For Construction Workers

Workers’ Compensation Claims: As an injured worker, your primary recourse is typically a workers’ compensation claim, which provides benefits regardless of who was at fault. These benefits cover:

  • Medical treatment costs
  • Temporary disability payments (typically 70% of your average weekly wage)
  • Permanent partial disability benefits
  • Permanent total disability benefits
  • Death benefits for surviving family members in fatal cases

Third-Party Personal Injury Claims: In certain situations, workers can pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent third party (not your employer), such as:

  • Equipment manufacturers of defective machinery
  • Subcontractors whose negligence caused your injury
  • Property owners who maintained unsafe conditions
  • Architects or engineers who created unsafe designs

For Non-Workers

If you were injured as a passerby, visitor, or someone not employed at the construction site, you can pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible parties, which might include:

  • The general contractor
  • Specific subcontractors
  • The property owner
  • Equipment manufacturers

What Compensation Can You Recover?

The value of your case depends on numerous factors, including:

For Workers’ Compensation Claims

  • The severity and permanence of your injuries
  • Your average weekly wage
  • Your ability to return to work
  • Your medical treatment needs

For Personal Injury Claims

Economic Damages:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket costs related to your injury

Non-Economic Damages:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium (for spouses)

Proving Your Monmouth County Construction Accident Case

For workers’ compensation claims, you generally need to establish that your injury occurred within the scope of your employment—not that someone was negligent.

For personal injury claims, we’ll help you prove the four essential elements of negligence:

  • Duty of Care: Establishing that the defendant had a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions
  • Breach of Duty: Demonstrating how they failed to meet industry safety standards or regulations
  • Causation: Proving that their negligence directly caused your injuries
  • Damages: Documenting the full extent of your physical, emotional, and financial losses

Important Deadlines for Construction Accident Claims

  • For workers’ compensation: Report your injury to your employer immediately and file your claim within two years
  • For personal injury claims: New Jersey’s statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit

Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation, making early legal consultation crucial.
