Altman represents New Jersey employees with work-related injuries and illnesses, including people who work in casinos, hotels, restaurants, healthcare and construction.

Your job duties and what happened next matter.

I worked closely with Cory Trobman, Esq. on an accident case. Cory was always very knowledgeable about the entire legal process and what the next steps should be. His calm and thorough assessment of key situations always put my mind at ease. He was very responsive and thoroughly professional. I came to see Cory less as a lawyer and more as a guide through the complicated and sometimes confusing legal landscape. In the end, he got me a settlement larger than I expected. The office staff also reflected the same of professionalism and attention to detail.

I had a great experience with this law firm. I appreciated the support they showed and they made sure that I got the proper care I needed. They were able to negotiate while keeping this from going to court. But, I'm sure they would have been prepared to do so, so that I could get what I deserved. Thank you!

New Jersey Benefits After an Atlantic City Work Injury

A work injury can raise separate questions about medical care, missed pay and lasting limitations. New Jersey workers’ compensation may provide:

Medical care: Necessary, reasonable treatment for the covered work injury. The employer or insurer generally selects the authorized treating provider. Emergency care and an improper refusal to provide treatment require separate consideration.
Temporary disability: Eligible workers who cannot work while receiving active care may receive 70% of their average weekly wage, subject to New Jersey’s applicable minimum and maximum. If the disability extends beyond seven days, benefits cover the waiting period and are retroactive to the first day. The days need not be consecutive.
Permanent disability: A lasting work-related impairment may support partial or total permanent disability benefits, depending on the medical and legal evidence.
Death benefits: Eligible dependents may receive benefits after a work-related death.

What to Do After a Workplace Accident in Atlantic City

Notify your supervisor or another person in authority promptly. Written notice is not required, but keeping a dated record of what you reported can help document the claim.
Request medical care from your employer. Get emergency care when needed, and tell the employer about that treatment as soon as possible.
Save the incident report, witness details, work restrictions, pay records and insurer correspondence. For a casino, hotel or restaurant injury, note your department, shift and the task you were performing.
Ask for advice if treatment or wage benefits are denied or delayed. Disputes go to the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation, not the Office of Administrative Law. A lawyer can assess an informal hearing, formal claim petition or motion for medical and temporary benefits.

Atlantic City Workers' Compensation Questions

Is reporting the injury the same as filing a claim petition?

No. Employer notice and a formal claim petition are different steps. A petition generally must be filed within two years of the injury or last payment of compensation, whichever is later. Authorized treatment counts as compensation. Occupational illness has a different awareness-based starting point. An informal hearing application does not pause the deadline, so have the dates reviewed promptly.

What if the doctor allows light duty but my employer has none?

If you have not returned to work and remain under authorized treatment, temporary benefits should generally continue until maximum medical improvement in this situation. Bring the written restrictions and the employer's response to your consultation. A return to lower-paid work does not automatically establish a particular wage-difference benefit.

Is an informal hearing decision binding?

No. The judge's informal recommendations are nonbinding. A formal claim petition is a separate route for seeking a binding decision.

How are attorney fees handled?

The initial consultation is free. In a New Jersey workers' compensation case, a judge determines any legal fee awarded with compensation. Ask the lawyer to explain fees and case expenses before representation begins.
