Common Types of New Jersey Workers Compensation Claims


When you have suffered a workplace injury, you need to be able to easily obtain necessary medical treatment and other potential benefits in order to deal with an already difficult situation. Unfortunately, most injured workers either get significantly less than the compensation and benefits that they deserve or get no compensation at all. To ensure that your rights are protected and that you get the full extent of the compensation that you are entitled to, you need to hire an experienced New Jersey workers compattorney.

Effective Representation For Complex Claim Situations

There are many different types of workplace injuries that may entitle you to compensation. While some cases may be simple, other situations can be complex and demand the assistance of an attorney. Some common situations that may require you to hire a workers compensation attorney include:

-          Traumatic induced workplace injury
-          Occupational exposure injury
-          Repetitive motion injury
-          Total disability
-          Hearing or vision loss
-          Occupational stress

If you or someone you know has suffered any of these or any other workplace injuries, you have the legal right to file a workers’ compensation claim regardless of who was at fault.  Many injured workers wrongly believe that they cannot claim their injury under workers’ compensation laws if they caused the workplace accident. This is not true. No matter who caused the work injury, you are eligible for financial compensation.

Hiring the Right Attorney

Hiring the right New Jersey workers comp attorney can help reduce your stress during a difficult time and help you get the financial compensation that you are depending on. Moreover, when you are legally represented by a lawyer, your employer or their insurance carrier is less likely to stonewall your claim.
