Lodi, NJ (September 09, 2022) – An electrician plummeted 40 feet to his death at a construction site on Industrial Road in Lodi at about 11:40 a.m. on Friday, September 9th.

The 43-year-old contractor was already in cardiac arrest as he was being transferred to Hackensack University Medical Center with head trauma. 

According to police, his co-workers did their best to render aid while waiting for responders to arrive. 

The victim, a resident of Guttenberg, died at the hospital. 

OSHA was notified and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification was on the scene to collect evidence. 

No other details, including the victim’s name, were made available.

Workplace Accidents in New Jersey

In almost all cases, the workers’ compensation insurance representative and your employer will do everything in their power to dissuade you from working with a lawyer. They will expect you to see a physician of their choosing and do their best to seem accommodating. 

Sadly, behind the scenes, they are working hard to limit their liability, and, by extension, limiting the financial compensation available for damages sustained in your workplace accident.

After being injured at work, you have two potential claims:

• Workers’ compensation claims are filed for workers’ compensation insurance benefits.
• Third-party claims are filed against companies or people besides your employer who might be liable for your injury 

For example, if you are hurt using a piece of equipment at work, you have a valid claim for workers’ compensation benefits. You may, however, also have a valid claim against the equipment manufacturer for making a dangerous product or a product lacking sufficient safety protections/warnings.

Advocacy and representation for the financial compensation you are entitled to can only be provided by an experienced and skilled New Jersey personal injury lawyer.
