DANGEROUS AND 
DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION

Proven New Jersey Construction Site Accident Lawyer

One of the factors that makes construction work such a dangerous occupation is the prevalence of large and powerful equipment, complex machines and a wide assortment of potentially deadly tools. Any number of things can happen—a tool may malfunction or break down, or may not be properly designed to stand up on a construction project. The product may have substandard materials or may not have been properly tested before being put on the market.

When you or someone you love has suffered needless injury caused by a tool, machine or construction site equipment, you want an experienced and proven attorney on your side.

Our Representation in Construction Site Product Liability Claims

We handle all types of injury claims involving the malfunction, breakdown or unsuitability of tools, equipment or machines on a construction project. That includes cases involving negligent design, careless construction or improper marketing of a device, tool or piece of machinery.

Because many tools, machines and pieces of construction equipment are manufactured by unrelated third parties, such a claim often allows you to seek damages in a civil suit, in addition to or instead of through a workers’ compensation claim. Let us help you determine the full scope of your rights.

To set up an appointment, call us at 973-315-9080 or contact our office by e-mail. There’s no charge for your first consultation.
