Morristown Roof Fall Injuries Lawyer

New Jersey Construction Site Accident Attorney

Protect Your Right to Fair Compensation After a Roof Fall Accident

Construction workers and industrial site workers frequently work in dangerous conditions on a regular basis. Construction workers are accustomed to using power tools, performing a lot of heavy lifting and working at great heights. When a construction worker suffers serious injury due to a fall off a roof, he or she is entitled to compensation for economic losses.

Compensation after roof falls may come from the workers' compensation system. However, additional compensation may come from other sources when roof falls are caused by faulty equipment, defective safety holds, or carelessness by other people on the site.

Determining Legal Responsibility After Ladder and Roof Falls

Commercial and residential construction sites are busy places — with multiple contractors and suppliers coming and going throughout the project. In the traumatic aftermath of a bad roof fall, it may be difficult to determine which persons or companies helped cause the accident. As a veteran workplace injuries attorney, Mr. Burakoff knows how to find answers to such key questions as:

• Were safety harnesses and safety ropes being used?
• Were any guard rails in place?
• Was the roof or ladder safe for a worker to be on it?
• Was the ladder or scaffolding equipment properly manufactured and inspected?
• Did the homeowner or project manager know of any structural weaknesses that could have contributed to the fall?
