ATTORNEYS FOR CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS IN NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA
​OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) reports that 21.4 percent of the workers who died in the private sector in on-the-job accidents during 2015 occurred in the construction industry.  In addition to worker fatalities, thousands of workers were injured and continue to be injured in construction accidents. In addition to employees who are injured in construction accidents, thousands of other individuals are injured while visiting a job site. Many things can go wrong on a job site. If you are injured because something went wrong, we want to hear your story.

Causes of Construction Accidents
A construction accident can occur because of a variety of reasons. However, some of the most common causes of construction accidents include:
  • Slips, trips, and falls;
  • Electrocutions;
  • Exposure to chemicals or toxins;
  • Struck by an object;
  • Crushed between two objects;
  • Failing to warn of hazards;
  • Explosions and fires;
  • Defective equipment or machinery;
  • Negligence in operating machinery and equipment;
  • Inadequate lighting; and,
  • The failure to institute and enforce proper safety procedures and failure to use safety equipment properly.​
When an owner of a construction company or the party in charge of a construction site is negligent, that party can be held liable for damages. Even when it is an employee who is injured, that employee might have a third-party claim in some cases depending on the circumstances of the construction accident.
It is in your best interest to work with an experienced attorney, like the attorneys at Kornblau & Kornblau. We investigate each case to determine all causes of action, including claims under workers’ compensation and third-party claims under the state’s personal injury laws or product liability laws.
Dangerous Construction Sites
Construction work can be a very dangerous occupation, and construction sites can be hazardous for employees and visitors to the site. When something goes wrong on a construction site, people usually are injured or killed. When you are injured in a construction accident, you need to contact a Pennsylvania construction accident attorney immediately.
Your legal rights depend on several factors, including whether you are an employee, sub-contractors, or visitor. It is important to consult an experienced construction accident attorney to determine what your rights are when filing an injury claim against the owner, contractors, or other party. To learn about your rights, call (215) 576-7200 for a free appointment with an experienced attorney.
