Woodbridge Scaffolding Accidents
Knowledgeable Construction Injuries Attorneys
The construction industry is one of the most dangerous to work in, as it presents a wide range of potential risks and dangers. One of the most common types of accidents which take place in the workplace, especially in construction jobs, are scaffolding or ladder accidents. Our Woodbridge personal injury attorneys at Palmisano & Goodman, P.A. have extensive experience handling personal injury and workers' compensation claims for these types of accidents.
Holding the Responsible Party Accountable
Although you are prevented from holding your employer responsible in a claim beyond workers' compensation, if a third party or equipment manufacturer was involved, they may be held legally accountable. You should not have to pay for your accident and injuries on your own, let us help you file a claim. We vigorously pursue all legal remedies after a scaffolding accident or other construction injury.

Establishing Grounds for a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Construction workers (union or non-union) injured on the job are entitled to medical care and wage benefits under New Jersey workers' compensation law. Our experienced Woodbridge injury lawyers also excel in identifying other parties who can be held accountable.
Third parties may include:
- The company that manufactured or erected the scaffolding.
- Subcontractors or property owners who created a safety hazard.
- Employers whose willful disregard of safety measures was almost certain to result in injury.
