At The Law Offices of Lloyd E. Bennett, Esq., P.C. we can answer all of your questions concerning workers' compensation in New Jersey so that you fully understand your rights as an injured worker.

Will I get a settlement in my work injury case?

Some cases take time to move through the system and will require hearings in order to fight for fair compensation. The employer chooses the medical facility that injured workers must attend in the case of a workers' comp claim.  In some cases, there have been agreements between the facility and the employer to minimize the degree of injury.  This is a serious matter and legal action should be taken. There is a two year statute of limitations for making claims to workers' compensation.  This can be a tight time window when injuries only become evident over time, such as back problems or hearing loss that has come about through employment.  When the claim is determined to be valid, you may get a settlement for your injuries and damages. Legal representation to assist you from beginning to end can be a critical part of this complex process.  We are interested in helping injured workers get the compensation benefits that they deserve after suffering a work-related injury. We also feel very strongly about assisting families that have had a breadwinner become permanently disabled.  When loss of life has been the result of a work accident, it is vital that the family has financial support.  A settlement can be sought so the family doesn't face financial ruin above the emotional costs of losing a treasured family member.
