The fallout from a construction-site injury is brutal—medical bills, missed paychecks, and pressure from insurers—all while you’re trying to heal. You don’t have to navigate this alone. ASK Law Firm LLC uses a chess-like, step-ahead strategy to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
Local and accessible. Our Middlesex County office is minutes from Old Bridge, and we handle cases throughout New Jersey and beyond.
Construction-savvy advocacy. We coordinate workers’ compensation, third-party injury claims, and OSHA-related evidence so no avenue for compensation is left on the table.
No fee unless you win. Free consultation. We advance case costs and only get paid if we recover for you.
Falls from ladders/scaffolds • Struck-by injuries • Trench and excavation accidents • Electrical and burn injuries • Crane/forklift incidents • Defective tools/equipment • Unsafe site conditions • Toxic exposure
Report the injury to your employer right away and get medical care through the proper channels. (Timely notice is essential in NJ workers’ comp matters.)
Document everything: photos of the scene/equipment, witness names, union steward info, and all medical visits.
Do not give a recorded statement to any insurer (even your own) before legal counsel reviews it.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits: We pursue medical treatment, temporary wage benefits, and permanency awards. We also protect your right to choose or challenge medical providers when appropriate.
Third-Party Injury Claims: If a subcontractor, property owner, general contractor, or equipment manufacturer contributed to your injury, we can file a separate negligence or product-liability case seeking pain and suffering, full lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and more—compensation not available through workers’ comp alone.
Comparative Fault Defense: New Jersey’s modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery as long as you are not more at fault than the defendants; any award is reduced by your percentage of fault. We build the record to minimize any fault arguments against you.
Public-Entity Claims: If a municipal/county entity is involved, we prepare and file the mandatory Notice of Claim on strict deadlines.
OSHA-Focused Investigation: We leverage OSHA reporting and recordkeeping rules to secure critical safety evidence about the incident.
Litigation with Strategy: Like chess, we think several moves ahead—sequencing medical proof, vocational experts, and liability testimony to pressure insurers into full-value settlements or take the case to trial.
Personal injury lawsuit (third-party claims): generally 2 years from the accident.
Workers’ compensation: file a formal claim within 2 years of the injury or last benefit payment; prompt notice to your employer is required (generally within 90 days).
Claims against public entities: strict notice requirements apply, often within 90 days.
Miss a deadline, and your rights may be lost. Call us as soon as possible so we can protect your claim.
Medical treatment and rehabilitation
Temporary and permanent disability benefits (workers’ comp)
Full lost wages and future earning capacity (third-party claim)
Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life (third-party claim)
Out-of-pocket costs and household services
Yes. Workers’ compensation covers medical care and partial wage benefits from your employer, but you may also have a third-party negligence claim against a general contractor, subcontractor, site owner, or equipment manufacturer. That separate claim can seek damages for pain and suffering and full wage loss.
Often, yes. Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence law, you can recover as long as you’re not more at fault than the defendants; any award is reduced by your share of fault. Don’t assume fault—let us evaluate site safety rules, supervision, and equipment defects.
For third-party injury lawsuits, typically two years from the accident. For workers’ comp, a formal claim must be filed within two years of the injury or last payment, and you must give your employer timely notice (generally within 90 days). Public-entity matters have even shorter notice deadlines. Contact us immediately so we can calendar and meet every requirement.
They can. Employers must promptly report fatalities and certain severe injuries to OSHA, and maintain records. These materials can help prove unsafe conditions or systemic issues on site. We know how to obtain and use them.
Not before you talk to a lawyer. Adjusters work for the insurer. We handle communications, preserve your rights, and prevent statements from being used out of context.
Nothing up front. Your consultation is free, and we only get paid if we win compensation for you.
Photos or video of the scene, the equipment involved, your injuries, names/contacts of witnesses and supervisors, incident reports, union details, and all medical records. If you can’t gather evidence, call us—we’ll investigate and secure it.
Very likely. Coverage and liability can extend to temps and subcontractors; responsibility may rest with multiple parties. We’ll analyze contracts, site control, and insurance layers to identify every accountable party.
