Construction Truck Accidents
Construction trucks and heavy equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, bucket trucks, cranes, and bulldozers are required to have safety kill switches, audible back-up warnings, and be stable in design. At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall in Red Bank, our attorneys have represented families of workers killed in fatal construction accidents caused by dump trucks and heavy equipment, including that which was defective or improperly maintained:
- A dump truck with no audible reverse signal backed over and killed a construction worker.
- The operator of a backhoe put it in neutral and stepped behind the machine. The defective backhoe spontaneously went into reverse, suffocating the operator in the mud.
- A forklift rolled over, crushing our client's feet.

Who is responsible for a construction injury?
A construction site is a hazardous environment, and general contractors, subcontractors, and manufacturers of equipment are required to take measures to protect workers, visitors and passersby. A defective jackhammer or nail gun, a table saw or chop saw with a broken safety switch, even a sledgehammer with a loose handle can cause amputation, a crush injury, or death. A crane or lift truck is required to meet safety standards that prevent rollover accidents and falls.
Have our lawyer assess the full extent of your loss
A construction truck accident or other construction site accident may result in a life-changing injury to a survivor. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) may result in mild permanent brain damage that interferes with concentration and memory, or in severe damage that leads to a lifetime of nursing care. A spinal cord injury, back injury, or neck injury may result in quadriplegia, paraplegia, another degree of paralysis or nerve damage, or chronic pain. Our attorneys work with medical and economic experts to accurately evaluate our clients' claims for workers' compensation, product liability, and premises liability.
