Workers' Compensation and Third-Party Claims in New Jersey
Injured construction workers in New Jersey are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of fault. However, when a third party — such as a general contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer — bears responsibility for the injury, a separate personal injury claim may provide additional compensation for pain and suffering and other losses not covered by workers’ comp. Cellino Law evaluates both avenues and pursues every available source of recovery.
New Jersey OSHA and Construction Site Safety
New Jersey enforces workplace safety regulations through the New Jersey Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) program and federal OSHA standards. Violations of these standards at the time of an accident constitute strong evidence of negligence. Cellino Law investigates OSHA inspection records, safety violation histories, and incident reports as part of every construction accident case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue the general contractor if my direct employer was responsible?
New Jersey law allows injured construction workers to pursue claims against general contractors, property owners, and other third parties even when workers’ compensation covers the claim against a direct employer. Cellino Law will identify every party that bears responsibility for your injuries.
How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit in New Jersey?
New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights.
