Accidents Caused By Falls From Elevated Heights

In New Jersey, individuals who work in construction, home improvement, cleaning and maintenance, demolition, and other industries are often required to perform their duties using ladders and/or scaffolding. While OSHA regulations and other mandated guidelines protect workers from unsafe conditions, individuals still sustain severe injuries on the job. Elevated heights only add to the potential hazard of serious or fatal injuries.

The lawyers at Rubenstein, Berliner & Shinrod, LLC have been representing individuals who have been catastrophically injured by falls from elevated heights for decades. Our attorneys are determined to protect your rights and help you identify who was responsible for your injuries.

How a construction accident lawyer can uncover liability

Our team of lawyers has spent years successfully handling diverse and complex industrial accident cases throughout New Jersey. Specifically, these types of cases require the skill and expertise that our attorneys can provide our clients when addressing crucial matters such as:

  • Who was responsible for the proper setup and maintenance of scaffolding or ladder(s)?
  • Were there safety issues involving the work equipment?
  • Were safety issues dealt with prior to our client using the work equipment to perform duties?
  • Was the scaffolding or ladder properly secured at the time of the accident?
  • Were all other safety precautions taken to prevent potential injuries?

Our lawyers are committed to helping you obtain fair financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses you have suffered because of your injury as a result of another party’s negligent acts. We will thoroughly explore every legal option available for recovery, including personal injury, workers’ compensation, and third-party liability claims.
