New Jersey Workers' Compensation Lawyer

New Jersey Workers' Compensation Lawyer — Fighting for Injured Victims

If you were injured on the job in New Jersey, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits regardless of fault. Workers' comp covers medical treatment for your work-related injury, temporary disability benefits while you are unable to work, permanent disability benefits if your injury causes lasting impairment, and death benefits for surviving family members.

New Jersey workers' compensation claims are handled through the Division of Workers' Compensation and can involve disputes over the nature and extent of injuries, appropriate medical treatment, and the amount of disability benefits owed. Our workers' compensation attorneys advocate aggressively for injured workers throughout this process.

In addition to workers' compensation, you may have a third-party personal injury claim if someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your injury. For example, if you were injured by a defective piece of equipment, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

Common work injuries we handle include construction accidents, falls from heights, forklift accidents, repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel, tendinitis), machinery accidents, chemical exposure, and transportation accidents in the course of employment.

Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
