New Jersey Falling Object Injury Attorney

On a high-rise construction project, there are seemingly endless objects that may potentially fall down upon workers at any time—tools, construction materials, debris or refuse, ladders or scaffolding, elevators and even cranes. In most instances, the falling objects are large and heavy, posing a risk of serious injury to workers on the ground or on lower levels.

If you or a loved one has been injured on a construction site after being struck by a falling object, you want a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer to help you pursue full and fair compensation for your losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Victims of falling object accidents in New Jersey may be entitled to various types of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of life quality. A knowledgeable falling object claim lawyer can help evaluate your case and determine the potential compensation based on the specifics of your situation.
Yes, if you were injured by debris on a construction site in New Jersey, a lawyer could assist you in seeking compensation. They can help in proving negligence, filing claims against responsible parties, and negotiating with insurance companies to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
Improperly secured tools, materials stacked too high, and failure to use safety nets are common causes. Cranes or scaffolds dropping items also contribute. Workers passing beneath unprotected areas are especially vulnerable. These incidents are often preventable with correct training and safety procedures. Employers must enforce strict storage and lifting protocols. Failure to do so often establishes clear negligence.
Yes, bystanders have the right to file claims if injured due to unsafe site conditions. Property owners and contractors must keep sites safe not just for workers but also for the public. A personal injury claim may seek compensation beyond workers’ comp since you’re not an employee. Gathering witness statements and incident reports is essential. Attorneys may also use construction safety violations to support the claim. Bystanders often have strong legal standing in these cases.
Prevention requires strict adherence to OSHA guidelines such as using toe boards, debris nets, and proper securing devices. Employers must train workers on safe lifting and storing of materials. Exclusion zones should be enforced to keep workers clear of overhead hazards. Regular inspections of cranes and scaffolds reduce risks. Failure to implement these precautions is often considered negligence. Prevention efforts also help establish responsibility when accidents occur.
