New Jersey Injured Workers Attorney

Skilled Personal Injury Lawyers Advocate for Injured Workers in Edison, Freehold and Brick, New Jersey

Some occupations, unfortunately, put workers at greater risk of injury than others—and while some professions are inherently more dangerous than others, you may actually be entitled to recover compensation if you sustained injuries while on the job. The fact is that the workplace can be a dangerous place for many individuals, so New Jersey has developed a workers’ compensation system to provide compensation for those who sustain work-related injuries. For others, a personal injury lawsuit may provide a viable option for recovering the compensation that you need to recover from on-the-job injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Edison, New Jersey Workers’ Injury Claims

FAQ: What are some common workplace accidents that may cause workers’ injuries?

Depending on the occupation involved, workplace injuries can occur in any number of ways. For example, repeating the same motion over and over can cause office workers and factory workers to suffer adverse effects. Workers such as construction workers and warehouse employees may be injured by heavy objects that fall in the course of duty. Transportation-related accidents are also common, as many employees must either operate some type of vehicle in the course of employment (such as a forklift or dump truck) or may be involved in a motor vehicle accident moving from one job site to another. Unfortunately, violence between employees can also cause a worker to suffer serious injuries for which financial compensation may be available.

FAQ: What should I do after sustaining an injury in the workplace?

You should make sure to notify your employer that you have sustained an injury on the job as soon as possible and seek medical treatment for your injuries immediately. These steps can be important because many workers’ compensation claims are challenged if the employer believes that some off-the-job accident was actually the cause of your injury. Your employer should be able to give you workers’ compensation forms to complete in order to file your claim, and either you or your employer can file those documents to begin the claims process. You can also call our workers’ injury lawyers to help you complete the documentation necessary to receive workers’ compensation benefits or to evaluate whether you may have a viable personal injury lawsuit against a negligent third party who caused your injuries.
