How We Help
A work injury can put your income and your health at risk at the same time. From the first call, we:
- File your claim correctly: and meet every deadline with the Division of Workers’ Compensation
- Get your treatment approved: and push back when the insurer delays or denies care
- Protect your weekly benefits: so temporary disability checks arrive on time
- Fight a denial: through a claim petition before a judge of compensation
- Seek a fair permanent award: based on complete medical evidence of your injury
- Look beyond workers’ comp: a claim against a careless driver, property owner or equipment maker can recover more
Injuries Covered by Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ comp covers injuries and illnesses caused by your job, whether they happen suddenly or develop over time, including:
-
Back and soft-tissue injuries
Strains from lifting, pulling and carrying, and repetitive-motion injuries
-
Falls at work
Slips on wet floors and falls from ladders, lifts and roofs
-
Vehicle accidents on the job
Crashes while driving for work, even if you were at fault
-
Equipment and machinery
Crush injuries, amputations, burns and electrocution
-
Workplace violence
Injuries from an assault, robbery or attack at work
-
Occupational illnesses
Lung disease and other illnesses from exposure over time
What Workers’ Comp Pays
New Jersey workers’ compensation provides four kinds of benefits:
-
Medical treatment
Authorized care for your work injury, paid by the employer’s insurer
-
Temporary disability
Weekly checks while you recover and can’t work
-
Permanent disability
An award if your injury causes lasting harm
-
Death benefits
Support for dependents after a fatal work accident
Workers’ comp doesn’t pay for pain and suffering. If someone other than your employer caused the injury, a separate claim against them can.

Workers’ Comp FAQ
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim?
New Jersey law makes it illegal for an employer to fire or discriminate against you for claiming workers’ compensation benefits. If that happens, tell us right away.
What if my claim is denied?
A denial isn’t the end. We can file a claim petition with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation and present the medical evidence to a judge of compensation.
Can I sue my employer?
Usually not. Workers’ comp is generally the only remedy against your employer. But if someone else caused your injury, such as another driver, a property owner or an equipment maker, you may have a separate claim against them that can include pain and suffering.
