Why You Need a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Why You Need an Attorney at PRA Law in NJ

Navigating workers’ compensation claims can be complicated and confusing. An experienced attorney helps ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to, including medical care and lost wages. They handle paperwork, meet deadlines, and fight denials or unfair settlements. Having a lawyer on your side increases your chances of a fair outcome and eases the stress of dealing with insurance companies during your recovery.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits Available to Injured Workers in New Jersey

Compensation and Benefits Available to Injury Victims

New Jersey workers’ compensation provides financial and medical support for employees hurt on the job. Workers’ compensation benefits are designed to ease the burden while you recover or adjust to long-term changes.

Medical Treatment

Workers are entitled to necessary and reasonable medical care related to their injury, fully covered by the employer or their insurance provider.

Temporary Disability Benefits

If you can’t work while recovering, you may receive partial wage replacement—typically 70% of your average weekly wage, up to a state-set maximum.

Permanent Disability Benefits

If your injury leads to lasting impairment, you may qualify for permanent partial or total disability payments, depending on the severity.

Death Benefits

If a worker dies from a job-related injury, their dependents may receive death benefits in the form of weekly payments and funeral expense coverage.

Can You Sue Your Employer or a Third Party for Work-Related Injuries?

Can You Sue

In most cases, you can’t sue your employer directly due to New Jersey’s workers’ compensation laws. However, if someone other than your employer—like a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate third-party lawsuit. These claims can provide compensation beyond workers’ comp, including pain and suffering. An attorney can help identify whether a third-party claim is possible in your situation.

Common Workplace Injuries

Common Injuries

Workplace injuries can happen suddenly or develop over time, and they often disrupt a worker’s ability to earn a living or carry out daily tasks. Whether the result of a single accident or long-term exposure, these injuries can qualify for workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey.

  • Back and Neck Injuries
  • Repetitive Stress Injuries
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  • Broken Bones and Fractures
  • Occupational Illnesses
  • Burns and Chemical Exposure
  • Amputations
  • Hearing Loss and Vision Damage

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Ewing Township

What to Do if Your Workers’ Comp Claim Is Denied in Ewing Township

What to Do if Your Workers’ Comp Claim Is Denied

A denial doesn’t mean the end of your claim. Review the denial letter carefully to understand the issue—whether it’s missing records, medical evidence, or a late filing. In New Jersey, you can appeal by filing a formal claim petition with the Division of Workers’ Compensation. Gather supporting documents like medical records or witness statements before your hearing. A workers’ comp attorney can help you navigate the appeal and protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve been hurt on the job, it’s normal to have questions about your rights and what comes next. Below are brief answers to some of the most common workers’ compensation questions we hear from clients in Ewing Township:

What should I do immediately after being injured at work?

Report the injury to your employer right away and ask to see an approved medical provider. Prompt reporting protects your rights and helps document your claim.

Can my employer fire me for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

Your employer cannot legally fire you for filing a workers’ compensation claim. Retaliation is prohibited, but termination for unrelated reasons is allowed. If you’ve been fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim, contact our workers’ compensation attorneys for a free consultation.

How much does it cost to hire a workers’ compensation lawyer?

In New Jersey, attorneys typically only get paid if you recover benefits. Fees are set by law and often approved by a judge after your case is resolved.

Can I receive workers’ compensation if the accident was my fault?

Yes. Workers’ compensation in New Jersey is a no-fault system, so you’re generally entitled to benefits even if you caused the accident.

How long does it take to resolve a workers’ compensation claim?

It varies depending on the injury, how long treatment takes, and whether the claim is contested. Some cases resolve in a few months, others take longer.

What should I do if my employer refuses to file my injury report?

You can report the injury directly to the Division of Workers’ Compensation. A lawyer can also step in to protect your rights and ensure the claim is filed.
