The rate of workplace falls, including slip and falls, trip and falls, falls from heights, and falling object accidents goes up during the summer. While fall accidents can occur at any time of year, because summer coincides with the construction season, the rate of fall accidents goes up for the summer. Construction sites often create the perfect conditions for slip/trip-and-fall accidents, falls from heights, and falling object accidents, with construction workers often required to traverse rough and hazardous ground, to work up on scaffolding and roofs, and to lift construction materials up to buildings under construction.
The rate of work-related motor vehicle accidents also increases, as rates of car crashes tend to go up during the summer months as a general rule. Summer can introduce new hazards onto the roads, including road works, teen drivers, and visiting motorists who may be unfamiliar with the area. With employees often visiting client sites or traveling on the road for work during the summer, workers can face increased risks of getting into car accidents on the job.

Other common injuries that occur during the summer include lacerations, abrasions, and puncture wounds.
Other summer-specific injuries that employees suffer at work include:
If you suffer a work-related injury during the summer, a workers’ compensation attorney can help you to understand your legal rights and options under New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system and can help you pursue a formal claim for benefits from your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer.

A workplace injury can be devastating, particularly if it prevents you from returning to work for an extended period of time.

That is why you should speak with a knowledgeable Workers’ Compensation lawyer about your situation and get guidance throughout the claims process.
