Victims of construction site accidents can be construction workers as well as innocent individuals passing by the site. Common causes of these tragic accidents include falling objects, inadequate fencing and/or security, inadequate safety equipment, scarce scaffolding and construction equipment improperly operated on public roads or walkways. Oftentimes, construction site accidents involve negligence on the part of workers, supervisors and independent contractors assigned to the site. Common examples of injuries that are sustained at construction sites include burns and electrocutions, falls from scaffolding, cranes, roofs and ladders, as well as traumatic brain and spinal injuries.
The statute of limitations to file actions in New Jersey is normally two (2) years; however, in some cases, it is only ninety (90) days.
