New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Claims

You go to work each day expecting, more or less, a routine day. You show up, do your job, maybe grab a quick lunch, and look forward to getting home when the shift ends.

Workers We Represent

Injuries can happen to anyone, anywhere, but some jobs carry more risk than others. Over the years, we’ve helped workers across all industries, from those on the front lines of dangerous trades to professionals in quieter offices who never expected to get hurt. Below are some of the occupations where injuries occur most often:

• Construction Workers: Often injured in falls, equipment malfunctions, or scaffolding collapses.
• Truck Drivers: Long hours, heavy lifting, and constant exposure to traffic dangers frequently lead to serious back, neck, and joint injuries.
• Warehouse Employees: From forklift mishaps to repetitive strain injuries, warehouse workers face daily physical strain in fast-paced environments.
• Healthcare Professionals: Nurses and aides often sustain lifting injuries, exposure to illness, and accidental needle punctures while caring for others.
• Manufacturing and Factory Workers: Machinery accidents, chemical exposure, and repetitive motions make this field particularly dangerous.
• Police Officers, Firefighters, and EMTs: Public safety workers put their bodies, and sometimes their lives, on the line every single day.
• Utility and Electrical Workers: High-voltage environments and elevated worksites lead to serious risks of electrocution and falls.
• Landscapers and Groundskeepers: Equipment injuries, heat exhaustion, and uneven terrain contribute to frequent accidents in this trade.
• Delivery Drivers: Whether driving local routes or cross-county deliveries, these workers face constant hazards on the road and in loading zones.
• Farm and Agricultural Workers: Heavy machinery, unpredictable animals, and exposure to harmful pesticides make agricultural work one of the most injury-prone fields.

How We Handle Workers’ Compensation Claims

When you’re injured on the job, you don’t have time to argue with an insurance adjuster and deal with the various other inconveniences that arise. You’re in pain, bills are piling up, and all you want is to heal and move forward. That’s where we come in.

At our firm, we begin by learning exactly what happened and what kind of care you’re getting. We gather medical reports, witness statements, and any available documentation to strengthen your claim. We also ensure your employer’s insurance company provides the full medical coverage you’re entitled to.

If your claim has already been denied, we don’t stop there. We file Formal Claim Petitions, appear before the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation, and fight until you get what you’re owed. We also pursue temporary disability benefits while you’re out of work and permanent disability benefits if your injury leaves long-term limitations.

Throughout the process, we keep communication open and honest. You’ll always know where your case stands, what’s next, and how long it may take. We don’t talk in circles, and we don’t make promises we can’t keep.
