Damages & Compensation For NY / NJ Construction Accidents
A serious New York or New Jersey construction accident can change your life forever. Your health and getting your life back together should be your main concerns. It’s hard to focus on healing when you are likely facing overwhelming medical bills and other costs. What’s worse, you are probably unable to work to earn money to pay those debts or provide for your family. While workers’ comp, Social Security and other programs might provide some help, it is almost never enough to cover all your losses. The NY / NJ construction accident lawyers at the Ginarte firm can help you seek out other sources of money.

What You Could Recover In A Construction Injury Case
Unlike workers’ comp claims, a New York or New Jersey construction accident claim does not have strict limits on the type and amount of compensation injured workers can recover. A responsible third party – for example, a prime contractor, property owner, developer, vendor or subcontractor – could be required to pay you for all of your losses. Some of the damages that are potentially available in a construction injury lawsuit include:
- Past and future medical bills;
- Pain and suffering;
- Lost wages and future earnings;
- Your spouse’s damages (per quod);
- Disfigurement;
- Rehab expenses; and
- Punitive damages, and more.
In most cases, you can collect these damages in addition to your benefits from workers’ comp, SSDI or other programs. If a defective tool or other product was to blame for your construction accident, you might be able to recover from the company that made or sold it.
