Heavy Equipment Accidents

Heavy Equipment Injury Claims

Injuries resulting from the use of heavy equipment at construction sites are common. When the accident is caused by negligence, the injured person may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover damages and compensation. At the northern New Jersey law firm of Brady Reilly & Cardoso (BRC), our personal injury lawyers have many years of experience handling construction site accident claims. They can advise you about developing a case for your heavy equipment accident injuries.

Your Decisions, Our Experience
Call (201) 997-0030

When you meet with one of our personal injury lawyers, we make sure that you have all the information you need to make decisions about the case. We discuss the circumstances of your injury, describe the legal process and advise you about your options. This includes explaining the difference between workers compensation and your potential personal injury claim. We talk about the probability of success and the length of time your claim might require.

Examples of Heavy Equipment Injury Cases

Injuries resulting from an accident involving heavy equipment can be serious — head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations. Fatal accidents occur more often than one might think. BRC has helped people after accidents involving heavy equipment such as:

  • Bulldozers
  • Earth movers
  • Dump trucks
  • Backhoes
  • Forklifts
  • Cement mixers
  • Graders

Liability issues in heavy equipment cases can be complex. The equipment itself may be defective or poorly maintained. In such cases, we can file a product liability claim or a claim with the equipment leasing company. In other cases, the accident may have been caused by negligence on the part of the contractor or property owner. In all cases, we make sure that your claim is against the correct party and that our lawyers are thoroughly prepared for trial, settlement negotiations or other forms of dispute resolution.

Highly Recommend Matthew R. Romo, Jr., Esq. I had a truly outstanding experience working with Matthew R. Romo, Jr. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Matthew genuinely cared about my case and always made time to answer my questions, no matter how small. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and skilled attorney, I highly recommend Matthew R. Romo, Jr. He made a stressful situation much more manageable, and I’m grateful for his support.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:

Highly recommended! The process was long due to my case beginning when COVID started but rest assure this law firm was with me the whole time. The communication was great. Not one time was I ever disappointed in the process. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Kathleen and her team are amazing. I know I was annoying at times and very restless about my case but they handled it well and when it was all said and done, they got me more than I expected! They work very hard to get you the most compensation you deserve! Again, highly recommended!!! Thanks team.

Diane Cardoso was amazing to work with. She held our hand during a stressful time for our family and provided not only comfort, but expert guidance to navigate the process. We are so grateful to have worked with Diane towards a successful settlement for our daughter. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone in need of legal assistance for a personal injury claim. Thank you Diane!
