HOW OUR NEW JERSEY ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS CAN ASSIST:

Our New Jersey accident attorneys are committed to helping you secure the compensation you need to move on with your life. Those who seek legal representation often secure more substantial compensation than those who don't.

Construction Accidents.
Construction workers face a notably elevated risk of sustaining on-the-job injuries, which tend to be severe and life-changing in nature. Those who are injured and unable to work during their recovery frequently encounter financial difficulties due to the loss of income and unforeseen medical expenses.
Third Party Liability:
If you are eligible to initiate a workers' compensation claim after sustaining a job-related injury, it's important to note that you generally cannot bring a lawsuit against your employer. Workers' compensation insurance is in place to provide coverage for employees and legal protection for employers.
However, if a third party played a role in causing your injury, you may have the option to file a separate personal injury lawsuit against that third party to seek additional compensation. Your attorney will need to demonstrate negligence in such a case.
​
In any personal injury claim, establishing negligence involves proving the following key elements:
​
-
The third party owed you a duty of care.
-
The third party breached this duty.
-
The breach directly led to your injuries and subsequent damages.
-
​
Pursuing a third-party claim allows an injured worker to pursue a broader range of financial damages in addition to workers' compensation benefits. This may include:
​
Economic Damages:
​
-
Current and future medical expenses.
-
Lost wages.
-
Loss of future earning capacity.
-
Costs associated with mobility aids.
-
Necessary home modifications for improved mobility.
-
Physical and rehabilitative therapy.
​
Non-economic Damages:
​
-
Pain and suffering.
-
Emotional distress.
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
-
Depression.
​
At a construction site, there are various parties that may share liability for an accident, including:

Pedestrian Accidents.
In states like New Jersey, such as in the case of Personal Injury Protection (PIP), it often falls short of covering the total expenses incurred. It's crucial to recognize that individuals injured in such incidents have avenues for substantial compensation beyond what PIP offers. The adept and seasoned legal team at Willis Injury Law is available to assist you in maximizing the restitution you deserve.
You don't have to navigate this challenging time by yourself. Schedule a complimentary consultation with a pedestrian accident lawyer in New Jersey to understand your legal rights. We are committed to supporting you at every step of the way.
Kinds of Pedestrian Accidents:
Various factors commonly contribute to pedestrian-vehicle accidents, including:
Excessive Speed: When vehicles move too fast, it becomes challenging to notice pedestrians or react in time to prevent an accident.
Nighttime: Reduced visibility can make it hard to spot pedestrians, especially if they're wearing dark clothing.
Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, fog, and intense sunlight can diminish driver visibility, although the driver is responsible for driving cautiously.
Impairment: Nearly half of pedestrian accidents (46%) involve drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol. Intoxicated drivers may be inattentive, unable to stay in their lane, or make erratic decisions.
Distraction: Drivers are accountable for focusing entirely on the road. However, they may get distracted by texting or using personal devices, leading to veering out of the lane or making hasty decisions.
Why Pedestrian Accidents Pose Such Danger:
The consequences are rarely positive when an unprotected human body collides with a heavy, solid vehicle. Even at relatively low speeds, serious injuries can occur. Since 2009, pedestrian fatalities have surged by 59%.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents:
Typical injuries resulting from collisions between pedestrians and vehicles include:
Amputations: Loss of limbs due to injury, infection, or inadequate circulation and healing.
Bone Fractures: Breaks in the legs, arms, shoulders, backs, hands, and wrists.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Loss of consciousness, concussions, skull fractures, and disabilities.
Neck Injuries: Whiplash, soft tissue tears, crushed disks, and mobility problems.
Spine Injuries: Spinal fractures, ruptured disks, dislocated vertebrae, and paralysis.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts, lacerations, muscle tears, joint damage, or disfiguring scars.
Emotional Trauma: Post-traumatic stress disorder, fear, anxiety, panic, and depression.
Given that these injuries can result in substantial medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income due to missed work, and emotional distress, it's imperative to explore avenues for obtaining compensation to aid in your recovery.
