Family of killed worker may qualify for workers' compensation
Construction accidents in New Jersey can arise from a variety of sources. Falls, dropped tools, cranes, overhead power lines, motor vehicles, scaffolding, as well as the use of heavy machinery and equipment are among the most common sources. However, other dangers such as confined spaces, carbon monoxide, trench cave-ins and improper training can also lead to serious and, sometimes, fatal injuries. A construction worker's death in April 2016 may have resulted from a not receiving appropriate training. The victim's family is likely entitled to file a claim for workers' compensation death benefits.
Traffic cameras can provide valuable evidence in car accidents
The majority of the time, law enforcement officials here in New Jersey and elsewhere arrive at the scene of a crash after all of the vehicles have come to rest. In some car accidents, it is obvious fairly quickly what happened and who is responsible, but more often than not, further investigation is needed in order to make those determinations. One of the resources used to that end are traffic cameras.
