Construction Site Accident

Construction Site Falls

Construction Site Falls: It is easy enough to get tripped up in a familiar setting like your backyard, inside your house, the local store parking lot or your school/ place of work. When on a construction site there are so many dangerous obstacles, machinery and elevated surfaces that falls on a construction site are very common. Not only are they common but they accounted for 35 percent of construction deaths last year according to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Unfortunately, these accidents are usually caused by improper fall protection. These falls can be the fault of equipment manufacturing error or on-site protocol violations.

It is important to know what to do after a construction site fall in New Jersey. From lost wages during recovery to the monetary impact of partial or permanent disability, workplace falls can have serious consequences. If you have fallen on the job, do the following immediately:

  • Seek medical attention to address injuries sustained as a result of the fall
  • Document any suspected OSHA or BOCA violations this information will help your legal team
  • Talk to an expert construction accident attorney as soon as possible to review your legal rights
