New Jersey Workers' Compensation Attorney

What are your rights in New Jersey?

In our state, workers have rights when injured at a jobsite or in the workplace but what these rights are can sometimes be a grey area. Employers may take advantage of the lack of knowledge that their workers have about injury cases to create problems, which are difficult to impossible for many workers to resolve on their own.  When covered by workers' compensation, you have the right to benefits after being injured at work.  The procedure related to how the claims process works is specific and the way in which you file your claim can make a big difference to the outcome.  We strongly urge that you use a New Jersey workers' compensation lawyer to assist you in filing your claim.  You may miss out on certain types of benefits that you have the right to.

Failing to get all your benefits can create a terrible financial struggle for you as an injured worker and for your family. Fighting to avoid losing possible benefits is extremely important.  The cost of medical care must be recovered; if you have continued to work with your injury, this does not necessarily mean that you are not due benefits.  Some employees are afraid that they will lose their job if they don't continue to show up at work and have even been threatened by their employers not to make a claim.  It costs the employer when claims are made; nonetheless, you have a right to file a claim, no matter what threats or concerns you have.

Resolving Workers' Compensation Issues

You have the right to seek benefits when you are injured. Your employer may dispute that you were injured at work, may claim that your injury came through other circumstances or that you are not injured at all.  This calls for your right to file a claim petition or an application for an informal hearing to be asserted. We are fully prepared to help you as we have many others when your claim for benefits has been denied.

This is a very important matter for you and your family and your pursuit of proper benefits should be aided by the legal team at The Law Offices of Lloyd E. Bennett, Esq., P.C.  We have decades of experience in addressing such situations and are dedicated to fighting for our client's right to compensation after a work-related injury.
