Workman’s Compensation Lawyer
Under the NJ state law, most workers injured during work or while reporting to work are entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits through their employer’s plan. The system is designed to ensure all injured workers receive the money they need for medical costs and lost earnings while out of work. Accepting workers’ compensation benefits also means that workers typically forfeit all further right to sue their employers for additional damages.
Filing a workers’ comp claim is often frustrating and confusing. Employers sometimes offer resistance and insurance carriers will attempt to find reasons to deny the claim or reduce the offered benefits. In addition, workers may find themselves under pressure to accept an early lump sum settlement or return to work before they are fully recovered from their injuries.
