Jersey City Site Construction Accident Lawyers

Several contractors and subcontractors often work together at one construction site. As a result, construction accidents often involve third parties who act negligently in securing the safety of other workers besides their own. If you've been injured due to the actions of a third party contractor, your worker's compensation benefits may not be your only source of potential compensation.

If your injuries are serious, the resulting in short or long-term disability, your workers' compensation benefits may not be enough to cover your actual lost wages and lost earnings. At the law office of Lerner, Piermont & Riverol, P.A., our personal injury lawyers work to hold both employers and third party contractors liable for serious injuries our clients' sustained in construction site accidents.

If you've been seriously injured in a construction site accident, contact Lerner, Piermont & Riverol, P.A. today. We will evaluate your case and discuss how we can help you recover your medical expenses and lost wages.

Our attorneys work with investigators and accident reconstructionists when necessary to expose negligence and safety violations. The following are construction site accident issues we frequently address:

• OSHA violations
• Fork lift accidents
• Crane accidents
• Back hoe accidents
• Collapsed scaffolding
• Electrocution
• Amputation
• Paralysis
• Burns
• Toxic exposure

It's not uncommon for negligent employers or careless contractors to deny any responsibility associated with an accident. Our attorneys work to expose negligence and hold employers and contractors financially accountable. We work with private investigators, accident reconstructionists, engineers and other experts to determine the cause of the construction site accident. Our lawyers also collect eye witness testimony and use computer animation in exhibits to demonstrate to jurors how the accident happened and how it could have been prevented.

If you believe your accident was caused by OSHA violations or other safety and labor regulations, your employer may try to convince you to settle without filing a claim. In some instances, they may try to intimidate you as well. Likewise, if your injuries involved negligence on the part of a third party contractor, their insurance company may try to convince you to settle out of court to avoid paying the full value of your injuries

Once you hire us, any communication between you and an insurance company or your employer's legal department must come through our office first, saving you aggravation and possible confusion.
