New Jersey Lawyers:
Loading Truck Accidents
Loading a truck at the dock of a lumberyard and unloading the truck at the construction site involve serious risks. A steel band can sever fingers or cause a serious laceration; a pallet break and falling bricks may crush a worker's foot; a stack of lumber may spontaneously release on the highway and cause a fatal truck accident. Heavy lifting without proper equipment may, either immediately or over the course of time, result in a disabling back injury and chronic pain.
Have an experienced attorney review your injury claim
At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall our attorneys have extensive experience in representing construction workers, motorists, and others injured as a result of negligence. If you or a member of your family was injured in an accident that involved loading a truck, a poorly secured or unbalanced load, or unloading, please contact our Red Bank office and arrange a free consultation and case review.
It is our goal to see that you recover maximum compensation for your loss. Even a ruptured disc (slipped disc) or fracture can be a disabling, life-changing injury. A catastrophic injury such as amputation, paraplegia, quadriplegia or traumatic brain injury (TBI) will involve life care issues and future medical expenses. It is extremely important that you get the right medical treatment and have your claim accurately evaluated. If you were working on a loading dock or for a contractor, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, but those generally do not fully compensate injured workers for their loss. Our lawyers will examine the facts to see if you are eligible for additional compensation through a third-party claim.
Third-party claims in truck loading accidents
If defective equipment, such as a load truck, forklift, dock plate, or truck door was responsible for your injury or loss of a loved one, you may be entitled to a third-party product liability claim. If the accident resulted from a hazardous site such as a broken dock plate, an unstable crane, or a slippery surface, you may have a premises liability claim in addition to other sources of compensation.
