Workers' Compensation

Experienced New Jersey Workers' Compensation Lawyers

We have been helping injured workers for many years and we have significant work related accident injury experience. If you have suffered an on-the-job injury, we can help you with your claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry, Federal, and state and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers. From our offices in Collingswood, New Jersey, we handle issues dealing with defenses, fraud, subrogation, and appeals.

Significant Work Related Accident Injury Experience

There are often complex legal issues involved in claims regarding proximate causation, statutes of limitation, requirements for receiving different types of disability compensation, and intervening injuries. If you have been injured at work, you may think that the only legal action you can bring against your employer or co-workers is a claim for workers' compensation, because we also have significant personal injury litigation experience, we always investigate your claims to see if you may also have a claim against a "third party," such as the manufacturer of unsafe equipment, the owner of the premises where the injury occurred (if different from your employer), or against another company whose employee caused the injury. Unlike a workers' compensation case, however, third party actions can include recovery for pain and suffering and future damages.

No Fee Unless We Win

Our fee in workers' compensation cases is "contingent;" we earn a fee only if you get paid. The contingency fee system enables injured workers who cannot afford to pay on an hourly rate basis to have an attorney. The fee agreement will be carefully explained to you before you retain us. Our attorneys, paralegals and legal assistants treat you with the courtesy and respect you need and deserve. We understand that a workers' compensation claim can add an incredible amount of stress to any person's life. Our experience and our goal to put you at ease ensure that your claim will be handled in the most expeditious and hassle-free way possible.

If you have been injured at work, it makes sense to contact a law firm that knows the laws, knows the system and focuses on injured workers.
