Construction work is inherently hazardous. It involves the regular operation of large, heavy equipment, driving oversized construction vehicles, working well above ground level on high scaffolding, and working far below ground level in deep trenches. Even with the safety standards established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), construction accidents still occur. At The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., our skilled New Jersey burn injury lawyers fight for the rights of those who have been injured in construction accidents and fight to recover full and fair compensation for our clients.
Some construction accident injuries are serious, including those that cause severe burns and chemical burn injuries. These injuries may require multiple surgeries and long-term medical treatment, and can quickly become a financial burden for you and your family.
When a person is injured and someone is to blame, the injured victim can hold the at-fault party accountable for their negligence by filing a personal injury claim to recover compensatory damages. These damages may include expenses for medical treatment as well as pain and suffering. Specifically, a personal injury claim filed in New Jersey may seek any of the following damages:

Workers’ compensation benefits are available to workers to help with their recovery from a work-related injury or illness. Workers’ compensation claims do not require proving fault and are a claim against one’s employer. In fact, benefits are available to workers regardless of who is at fault for the accident.
Construction accidents that result in severe burn injuries or chemical burn injuries may require hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing medical treatment. Employees may be unable to return to work for some time and face a loss of wages as a result. New Jersey provides workers’ compensation benefits that include the following:

In New Jersey, if you are filing a workers’ compensation claim for construction accident injuries that you sustained while on the job, you have two years to file your claim. This two-year deadline begins on the date that the accident occurred or from the time that you realized that your injury was related to the construction accident at work.
There is a common misconception regarding filing a workers’ compensation claim against your employer. Many workers fear retaliation but workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect just that type of behavior. Workers’ compensation laws specify that employers are not permitted to punish, fire, or retaliate in any way against workers who file a workers’ compensation claim. The employer is also protected under workers’ compensation laws — with a limited exception, you are barred from suing your employer for an injury sustained while working.
The difference between an independent contractor and an employee: there are several different factors that go into that. And just because your employer might pay you on a 1099 does not necessarily mean that you’re an independent contractor. And that’s just one example. Sometimes the employer may take the position that the accident didn’t happen in the course of employment for whatever reason. And so, by hiring the Epstein Law Firm, we can help you weed out those issues, and we can work with you to combat the insurance carriers’ and the employers’ arguments regarding the person as an independent contractor, or did not get injured during the course of employment. There are several circumstances where an employer might take the position that the accident didn’t happen during the course of employment, and there are several factors that go into the determination as to whether or not the employee was actually in the course of their employment at the time of the accident.
