Construction Site Accidents
Representing Injured Construction Workers
If a construction worker suffers an accident on a construction site, he or she may be eligible for benefits and money damages under workers' compensation or through a third party personal injury claim. Construction accidents can be extremely serious — don't trust your case to an inexperienced attorney.
For over 35 years, we at Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices have been representing the seriously injured or the families of those killed in construction accidents. From our Jersey City office, we represent those injured throughout New Jersey and New York in both workers' compensation and personal injury claims.
Workers' Compensation Claims — Benefits Provided by Your Employer
Construction sites are dangerous workplaces that are governed by a host of state and local regulations. Unfortunately, accidents occur every day at jobsites and these accidents can have long lasting repercussions. The workers' compensation benefits available to any injured worker regardless of fault can include:
- Medical benefits
- Temporary total benefits
- Permanent partial benefits
- Permanent total benefits
Third Party Claims — Claims against Other Parties
Personal injury and wrongful death claims may be filed in addition to workers' compensation claims. These claims provide you with money damages related to your pain and suffering and other expenses not covered by the workers' compensation.
Many times third parties contribute to causing, or by themselves cause, work related accidents — this is especially true on busy construction sites. Unlike workers' compensation that does not require proving fault, the personal injury claims require proof of negligence. As a civil trial attorney, certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey and the National Board of Trial Advocacy, Francis X. Dorrity knows how to preserve and present your claims. He and his daughter Tracey work together on every case to assure that you will receive the money damages you deserve.
