Team Law’s New Jersey Workplace Accident Attorneys Fight for Your Right to NJ Workers’ Compensation Benefits and Third Party Injury Claims

While the number of employees who had to take time off work after getting injured on the job dropped last year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people who get hurt badly enough to qualify for Workers’ Compensation benefits is alarmingly high. Injuries cross all sector boundaries, although some types of work are obviously more dangerous than others. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job, you are legally entitled to file for Workers’ Compensation benefits. Regardless of who was at fault for your injury, your workers’ comp benefits can cover the cost of your medical treatment and provide you with replacement pay while you are out of work recovering and under a doctor’s care. If your family member was killed in a workplace accident, you may be entitled to death benefits. The NJ Workers’ Compensation System is complex. Speak to a knowledgeable New Jersey workplace accident lawyer at Team Law who will stand up to and deal with insurance companies on your behalf and make sure you get all the benefits you are entitled to receive.

New Jersey law requires your employer to carry Workers’ Comp insurance on your behalf just in you get injured on the job. However, the law doesn’t dictate the quality of medical care you will receive, nor does it guarantee you smooth sailing with the insurance company. In fact, historically, Workers’ Comp insurance companies want to pay you the least they can and get you back on the job as soon as possible.
