Workers Compensation

Workers' Compensation Lawyer

New Jersey workers injured on the job may be able to receive benefits under the state's workers' compensation statute. This law covers claims against the worker's employer even if the employer or the injured person was at fault. Most workers receive temporary disability pay after missing work for a specified number of days. They can also obtain employer-paid medical treatment and a lump sum settlement if a doctor decides that the injury is permanent.

In addition to receiving payment under the state workers' compensation law, injured employees may also file a claim against any third parties who may have been responsible for workplace injuries. It is important to seek the advice of a knowledgeable workers' compensation attorney quickly to learn about eligibility to file multiple claims. At our West New York law office, attorney Jeffrey M. Bloom advises injured workers. We have been helping people in difficult situations since 1988. Contact us about any workplace injury to learn about your rights and your options.

No one wants to think that he or she might die on the job. However, certain occupations have a higher than average record of deaths. Electricians, construction workers, window washers, firefighters, and police officers are among those who are more like to have a fatal accident. Workers' compensation law provides for payments to survivors of an employee who died at work. We can help you start the process of filing a claim, handling the details so you can concentrate on putting your life back together after a fatality.
