Construction Worker Injury Lawyer NJ—Protecting You on the State’s Most Dangerous Job Sites
Hurt on a Construction Site in NJ? Know Your Rights, Get Compensated
Construction sites—whether in Camden, Burlington County, or Cherry Hill—are some of the most dangerous workplaces in New Jersey. Scaffolding, heavy machinery, electrical hazards, and the pressure to finish fast all increase the risk of serious accidents. At The Law Office of Albert J. Talone, LLC, we know the unique dangers faced by carpenters, electricians, laborers, and tradespeople on busy South Jersey job sites. If you’re hurt, you’re likely entitled to workers’ comp—even if you’re a union worker, subcontractor, or were told you were “independent.” We handle the legal and paperwork headaches, so you can focus on recovery and your family.
Common Construction Injuries and Accidents
Falls from Heights & Scaffolding Collapses
Falls are a leading cause of construction injuries—whether off a roof, ladder, or scaffolding. We help secure medical care and wage benefits for injured workers.
Machinery and Equipment Accidents
Forklift mishaps, power tool injuries, and equipment failures can lead to devastating trauma. We ensure every injury is documented and every benefit pursued.
Electrical Injuries and Burns
Live wires, faulty equipment, and incomplete lockouts can cause serious shocks and burns. Workers’ comp covers all necessary treatment, and we hold negligent parties accountable.
Trench Collapses and Falling Objects
Digging and working below ground level creates constant risk. We handle claims for crush injuries, fractures, and more.
Repetitive Stress and Vibration Injuries
Jackhammer use, repetitive lifting, and constant physical strain can cause lasting harm—covered by workers’ comp even if there’s no single accident.
Construction Accident Death Claims
If a tragedy occurs, we help families pursue death benefits and explore all recovery options.
Workers’ Comp for Construction Employees and Contractors
Who’s Covered—and What to Do if You’re Not Sure
Most construction workers—employees, union trades, and even some “independent” contractors—are covered by NJ workers’ comp law. If you received a 1099, work for a subcontractor, or are being told you’re not eligible, call us. Many so-called contractors are actually employees under the law and entitled to benefits. We’ve represented union and non-union workers, know the ins and outs of union benefits, and understand OSHA regulations—often using violations to strengthen your claim.
Third-Party Construction Accident Claims
More Than Workers’ Comp—Exploring Additional Recovery
Some construction accidents are caused by others on the job site: another subcontractor, a general contractor, or even a faulty equipment manufacturer. Workers’ comp is your first line of recovery, but The Law Office Of Albert J. Talonealso coordinates with personal injury attorneys or directly handles third-party claims to maximize your total compensation.

Your Questions, Answered Clearly
Do construction workers get workers comp in NJ?
Yes. Most construction employees—including union members and many contractors—are covered by NJ law. Unsure? Call us.
I’m a subcontractor—can I get workers’ comp?
Possibly. If you’re treated like an employee (supervised, supplied with tools, not truly independent), you may qualify—even if you get a 1099.
Can I sue outside of workers’ comp for a construction accident?
Sometimes. If another party (not your employer) caused your accident—like another contractor or a manufacturer—you may have a third-party claim.
What if a general contractor didn’t have insurance?
We explore all possible coverages, including state funds set up for uninsured jobs. You have rights even if your direct employer was uninsured.
What are my rights after a construction site injury?
You have the right to medical treatment, wage benefits, permanent disability awards, and (if applicable) third-party or death benefits. We explain every option.
