A Strong Commitment to Injured Workers
A work injury can severely affect an individual’s health, income, and long-term future. Work injuries occur daily across all industries, from construction to healthcare to manufacturing and beyond. Navigating the complex workers’ compensation law can be confusing and even more challenging without proper legal guidance.
Andrew L. Watson helps workers who have suffered job-related injuries or accidents in the recovery of their rights and entitlements to compensation under the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Statute. A common thread running through virtually all cases of disputed workers compensation claims is the assertion by the workers’ compensation carrier or self-insured employer as to appropriate medical treatment, the amount of lost wages to be paid by the carrier or employer, evaluation of employee disability, and the employee’s feasibility of returning to work in a job that accommodates any claimed limited work capacity. Andrew L. Watson assists claimants throughout their workers’ compensation case from start to finish.
It all starts with a thorough understanding of the specific circumstances surrounding a particular injury. The types of workplace injuries can vary widely, from a fall or an accident caused by faulty equipment to repetitive motion type injuries or even occupational illnesses and exposures. With a complete review of all medical documentation and work records combined with a full understanding of the incident itself, a solid and compensatory claim can be constructed to successfully and properly compensate the injured worker.
Most injured workers assume that their workers’ compensation claim will be handled fairly. Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently dispute claims and applications for benefits. Watson works aggressively to protect the rights of the injured worker when a claim is denied, or where there are undue delays or inadequate offers of compensation.
