Falling Objects in Work Related Accidents

New Jersey Workers' Compensation Attorney

Falling objects in the workplace cause numerous injuries to employees every year.  Those workers who are employed in construction sites, factories, offices or other locations where shelving or upper areas are being worked on can easily be injured by a falling object.  Injuries caused by falling objects range from minor cuts and bruises to those which affect the brain or an injury to the spinal cord. A New Jersey workers' compensation lawyer from our firm can assist you in pursuing a workers' compensation claim to recover the costs of your medical expenses and lost wages.

Both employees and employers have a responsibility and duty to be careful in the workplace. Workers' compensation does provide, however, coverage to all employees injured in the workplace regardless of who is at fault.  At the Law Offices of Lloyd E. Bennett Esq., P.C., our decades of experience has illustrated that it is vital to obtain your own legal representative to assist you with your claim. Issues can arise regarding the extent of your injuries and treatment and you need to know your rights.

Claims for Injuries from Falling Objects

It can occur at times that your employer may wish you to return to work before you feel you are physically able to.  Being struck by a falling object can result in serious injuries to the head, neck and shoulders and cause long term medical issues.  Ensuring you receive the medical treatment you are entitled to is part of the effort our office makes in resolving claims.  We can also investigate the possibility of a third party being negligent in the accident, such as another contractor working in the area.  If possible, our office can pursue that party as well for further compensation, such as full recovery of your lost wages as well as pain and suffering.
