Our personal injury attorneys are available to help clients who have been injured by any type of negligence or carelessness, including the following:

Wrongful Death Dealing with the death of a family member in a fatal truck accident or construction accident can be emotionally overwhelming. In addition to grief, the surviving family members often want answers to why their father, sister or brother was killed. Knowing that the death could have been prevented is tragic. While nothing can bring back a loved one, answers and a measure of justice can often be obtained through a wrongful death action.

Catastrophic Injury Recovering from a serious injury is often long, painful, and expensive. Unfortunately, there is limited recovery from some catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, amputation, paralysis, and disfigurement. People who have been so seriously and permanently injured will require ongoing medical treatment, adaptive equipment, personal care, and other expenses for the rest of their lives. While no amount of money can compensate for a permanent disability, a fair and equitable insurance settlement or jury award can help a seriously injured individual face the future with less anxiety and a measure of hope.

• Head Trauma Trauma to the head can initially be misleading. A serious concussion can later result in chronic headaches, memory loss, cognitive impairment, and other problems. Our attorneys represent victims of head trauma involving skull factures, brain damage, birth injuries, and severe concussions.
• Spinal Cord Injuries Spinal cord injuries create enormous expenses for families when paralysis and disability create the need for in-home care, ongoing medical treatment, and medical equipment. Our lawyers accurately determine costs associated with spinal cord injuries and demand nothing less than fair compensation for our clients' current and future needs.
• Amputations / Disfigurement A great deal of pain and suffering often accompanies amputations and disfigurements. The law office of Albert L. Buzzetti & Associates works with medical experts and psychologists in determining the medical expenses and emotional trauma associated with amputations and disfigurement.

Representing Injured Construction Workers and Accident Victims

• Trucking Accidents Our office represents victims of trucking accidents involving excessive speeding, driver fatigue, improper reflective markings on trucks, wide angled turns, load shift, and driving under the influence.
• Structural Accidents When a construction worker is hurt on a job site because of a structural defect, an investigation of the causes of the accident may reveal negligence by an architect, engineer, landowner, contractor, or materials manufacturer.

• Scaffolding Accidents New York Labor Law section 240 is intended to protect construction workers from the extraordinary risks that they face when working on or around scaffolds and lift devices at building and construction sites.

• Crane Accidents Cranes may collide with power lines, or collapse for a number of reasons. Heavy materials swinging on cranes may fall or hit workers while still attached by chains.

• Ladder Falls If you or a loved one has fallen from a ladder at a construction site in New York or New Jersey, a knowledgeable construction law attorney should investigate. Did employers, supervisors, contractors, and others adhere to OSHA safety regulations with regard to design, construction, inspection, and use of the ladder?

• Roof Falls Our attorneys understand how best to determine when negligence was a factor in a roof fall at a construction site, and which legal remedies offer the greatest opportunities for relief for the injured worker and his family.

• Vehicle Accidents Equipment such as forklifts and cement trucks are required to be inspected and in good working order at building sites. Inspections, licenses, and maintenance are all the responsibility of contractors who bring people in contact with heavy construction equipment.

• Forklift Accidents Was the operator of the forklift involved in an accidental injury certified and licensed?

• Welding Rod Accidents Do you suspect that your illness or accidental injury is the direct result of your work with welding rods in construction or industrial environments?

• Electrocution / Explosions / Burns When Albert Buzzetti & Associates accepts an electrocution, explosion, or burn case, lawyers of the firm work to uncover safety violations at the work site, and to hold all negligent and liable parties responsible.
