Quality Legal Representation for Injured Employees in Trenton, NJ

At The Law Offices of Craig A. Altman, we defend Trenton-area employees injured on the job. In 2023, New Jersey recorded over 70,000 workers’ compensation claims, with hundreds filed by injured workers from Mercer County, many of whom worked in manufacturing plants near the Trenton-Mercer Airport and healthcare facilities at Capital Health. Our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers demand the medical care, wage replacement, and benefits you’re entitled to under New Jersey law.

Whether you suffered a slip-and-fall at Grounds For Sculpture maintenance sites or repetitive stress injuries at industrial complexes off Interstate 295, we handle every aspect of your workers’ comp claim. Strict deadlines and capped benefits leave unrepresented workers with unpaid medical bills and lost wages. We guide you from the first report of injury through your formal petition and hearings, ensuring you receive maximum financial compensation.

When your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company undervalues your case or stalls your benefits, you need a Trenton workers’ comp lawyer with a proven track record of securing benefits for injured workers. We fight for your medical and disability benefits, and pursue third-party liability when another party’s negligence causes your injury.

From Vineland, we take on big insurance companies on behalf of Mercer County injury victims, including those in Trenton, Hamilton Township, Princeton, West Windsor Township, Lawrence Township, Hopewell, and surrounding towns.

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!
