What is Workers' Compensation?
In New Jersey, workers’ compensation insurance is required by law for most employers. Workers’ comp insurance provides benefits to employees in the event of an on-the-job injury or illness, regardless of who was at fault. Generally, workers’ compensation pays medical benefits and a portion of lost wages as a result of the injury or illness.
Common Workplace Accidents
The most common types of work-related accidents include:
Construction accidents
Slip and falls
Car accidents
Repetitive stress injuries
Injuries from defective equipment
Exposure to hazardous materials
A workplace accident can have long-term consequences, both physical and financial. Injuries from workplace accidents may lead to permanent disability or disfigurement and can jeopardize your ability to work in the future.

Third-Party Liability Claim

This is called a third-party liability claim and can result in a much larger settlement than would otherwise be available through workers’ compensation.

Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of the law and will work tirelessly to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive all the compensation you are entitled to.
