CHOOSING THE RIGHT WORK INJURY LAWYER

>  Choosing the right WORKPLACE INJURY LAWYER is a life changing decision you only get one chance at. It is critical that you choose a competent Workplace Injury Attorney; not just any attorney if you are looking to sue for your injury.

>  Most clients are unaware that cases are won and lost long before they step into the court room.

>  We know what it takes to win. Our experienced legal team and accident reconstruction experts understand the legal and mechanical negligence involved in workplace accidents.

>  We have successfully represented many clients for workplace injuries in New Jersey. We will represent you against the insurance companies and in the courts.  We will use our expertise to see to it that the insurance companies honor their obligation to you and that you receive all of the financial compensation you are entitled to by law.

>  There are many circumstances where an employee can be injured on the job, sometimes by defective product/machine or even the negligence of a subcontractor.

>  We take great pride in representing our clients and will fight for their right to be fully compensated for their physical injuries, their suffering and the financial damages of past and future medical treatment as well as their capacity to support themselves and their families now and into the future.

WHEN INJURED ON THE JOB

When injured on the job, New Jersey generally requires the employer to provide workers compensation coverage for medical treatment and disability. As such New Jersey does restrict an employee’s ability to sue an employer for most workplace accidents. Sometimes the injury is due to the negligence of a contractor or supplier other than your employer. Therefore you need an experienced Work Injury lawyer to help guide you through the often murky waters of employment law. In either case, we can help by making a workplace compensation claim.


Workplace Accidents may be a result of:

>  Injury by Subcontractor (you were injured by contractor other than your employer at job site)

>  Injury by defective tool (the tool you were using was defective and injured you)

>  Injury by defective machinery (example: you were on a scissor lift and it collapsed and injured you)

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Insurance companies do not always act in your best interest. They are in business to make money. If you are involved in a work injury accident the insurance company will try to minimize the amount they will pay you. That’s what they are paid to do. Often that means they will offer far less than you are entitled to receive, depriving you of compensation you are entitled too.  We will aggressively represent your interests and make sure you receive all of the compensation you are entitled to by law. We understand what you are going through.


WHAT YOUR WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE SHOULD BE DOING:

>  Providing you with timely medical treatment;

>  Paying your medical bills;

>  Paying prescriptions;

>  Providing temporary or even permanent disability payments;

​

WHAT YOUR WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE “WILL NOT” BE DOING:

>  Investigating if someone other than your employer may be responsible for your injury;

>  Making sure you get full compensation for your pain and suffering;

>  Getting you the full amount of your lost wages;
