We Understand the Impact a Construction Accident Has on the Life of the Injured Worker

Dan O'Brien and his colleagues have been handling New Jersey and Pennsylvania construction site accident cases and industrial accident cases since the early 1980s. The construction site accidents include such things as: 

• Falls from heights
• Individuals being struck by falling equipment and materials
• Individuals injured by unprotected floor and wall openings
• Individuals injured by power tools and equipment
• Individuals injured in trench and excavation collapses and cave-ins
• Scaffold accidents
• Individuals injured when struck by moving powered equipment
• Electrocutions

 
Industrial accidents include such things as:

• Factory accidents
• Accidents occurring in production and assembly shops
• Warehouse accidents
• Accidents occurring on loading docks
• Accidents involving tractors, farm equipment and excavation equipment
• Truck drivers injured due to dangerous conditions at loading/unloading locations
• Truck drivers injured due to improper securing or loading of materials on the vehicle
• Individuals injured while visiting stores, warehouses and other places of business to make repairs and/or to service equipment

While the factual scenarios giving rise to these cases vary tremendously, there are certain common factors in these cases; primarily one is the impact that construction or industrial site accidents have on the life of the injured worker. Construction workers, trades people, warehouse workers and the like are very often highly paid, highly skilled individuals. They make a good living and enjoy very generous fringe benefits. If they are injured and unable to return to this type of work, the life-long economic impact on them and their family members can be devastating.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction site accident or an accident occurring in an industrial setting, you owe it to yourself to speak to a lawyer who will look beyond a worker's compensation claim and carefully and thoroughly investigate whether there is a way to obtain economic security for you and your family.

Dan O'Brien and his colleagues are experienced in working with the very best consultants and expert witnesses in the fields of worksite safety, OSHA regulations, industrial safety, product safety and the like. We spare no expense in our investigation and pursuit of these cases. You and your family deserve nothing less.

Frequent Questions for Construction and Industrial Accidents:

• I repair equipment at a dry cleaning business. I was working at one location on the second floor where the clothes conveyor system goes. There are openings in the second story floor where the conveyer runs. A contractor doing work at the location a week or two earlier had removed the guardrails protecting the floor openings to do work in that location. I fell through the floor opening and fractured my back. The earlier contractor did not reinstall the guardrails before he left. I have been told that the other contractor has no insurance and assets -- it was a fly by night operation.. The owner of the dry cleaner is telling my boss that he did not know that the rails had been removed and not replaced. Do I have a case here?
• I drive a delivery truck. I regularly deliver products to a large chain restaurant at a loading dock in the rear of the building. I slipped off the loading dock because it was greasy from a prior delivery. I was seriously injury and cannot return to work. Do I have a case?
• My husband was hurt at a construction site. He is a sheet metal worker.   His boss says that we cannot sue because of worker's compensation. Is this true?
