Why Do I Need a Lawyer for My Construction Site Back or Neck Injury?

Most workplace injuries in New Jersey are handled through the Workers’ Compensation program. Still, WC benefits may not fully cover all your losses, and sometimes accepting WC benefits may not be the best option. Accepting WC benefits usually requires you to drop any legal claim you have against your employer, but if your employer’s negligence was the cause of your accident, you want to hold them accountable for their actions and prevent them from acting in the same way again.

Your attorney will thoroughly review your accident to determine who was at fault and help you decide whether a personal injury claim or a lawsuit is the best option for your needs. We will conduct a full investigation into the accident that caused your injury and look for any evidence that could support your claim, such as witness statements, medical records, accident reports, or employee records.

We will be the bad guy, so you don’t have to be. Your lawyer will act as your advocate and chief negotiator when dealing with your employer and their insurance company. We will ask the hard questions and demand the answers you need, and we will work hard to protect your rights and keep your employer from taking advantage of you.

Hiring an attorney may mean more compensation than you would get on your own. Knowing how to define the losses caused by the accident is crucial when coming up with a compensation amount. Some losses, such as medical bills, are easily tallied, but others are subjective and vary widely depending on the circumstances, such as pain and suffering. Your lawyer has experience in estimating these losses and will work to obtain the maximum possible payout.

Possible Back and Neck Injuries on Construction Sites

There are many possible back and neck injuries on an active construction site, such as:

Compensation for Back or Neck Injuries

The amount of compensation you may be able to obtain largely depends on the severity of your injuries. Although it’s impossible to estimate the amount you could receive accurately, the rule of thumb is the more severe your accident, the more compensation you should demand from the responsible party.

You may receive compensation for a variety of losses or damages caused by the accident. Damages with a verifiable dollar value are called economic damages. Some examples include:

Damages with no verifiable value are called non-economic damages. These losses are far more subjective than economic damages and are best left to an attorney with prior experience in personal injury law to estimate. There are several types, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment
  • Loss of consortium
  • Scarring and disfigurement
