Fatal Construction Accident in New Jersey
A New Jersey construction worker was killed in Piscataway after falling at a construction site, according to this news report. The construction worker, who has not yet been identified, fell about 10 feet and suffered severe head trauma. He was taken to a local hospital where he died shortly after the fall. The fatal construction accident victim was apparently a member of a construction crew that was building single family homes in the area. Police are saying that the fall was an accident although an investigation is ongoing.
Construction sites are extremely dangerous because of their inherent risks for serious injuries. However, every construction site is required to follow stringent safety procedures mandated by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The proper implementation of these safety procedures can reduce and prevent many of these construction site dangers, injuries and unnecessary fatalities.
Construction accident victims undergo tremendous pain, suffering and expenses both in terms of medical costs and loss of wages. Pennsylvania workers compensation benefits are hardly enough to compensate an injured construction worker for all these costs and expenses.
