New Jersey Injury Lawyers With the Legal Skills to Help Workers Injured on the Job Collect the Workers’ Compensation Benefits They Deserve

When an employee is hurt while performing work-related duties, there is a specialized area of law that governs from whom and how much that employee can recover called workers’ compensation law.  Workers’ compensation is a benefit that is available to New Jersey employees who suffer an injury that arose out of, and in the course of, their employment.  Examples of work related injuries typically covered by workers’' compensation include:

  • Neck, back, and knee injuries
  • Carpal tunnel / repetitive trauma injuries
  • Hearing problems
  • Work-induced heart attack or stroke
  • Occupational diseases such as asbestosis and dermatitis
  • Disfigurement and scarring of face, neck or hands
  • Asthma or other work related pulmonary conditions
  • Loss of use of limbs
  • Amputation of limbs
  • Eye injuries
  • Burns

Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Who Know How to Get Injured Employees in New Jersey the Benefits They Deserve

Workers’ Compensation benefits may include payment of all accident related medical expenses, payment of wages while you are recuperating from your injuries and an additional award if you are permanently disabled.  Our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers can help you, the injured worker, get the compensation you need and deserve by effectively dealing with the following questions as they relate to New Jersey workers’ compensation laws and guidelines:

  • Whether you were an employee at the time of the injury?
  • Was the injury received while you were on the job?
  • Was there an injury?
  • What benefits are you entitled to?
  • Was the injury permanent?
  • Are you entitled to a settlement?
  • Should you accept a settlement?
  • Are you entitled to a permanency award?

Our three principal attorneys have more than 90 years of combined experience in handling injury cases. We know how to deal with complex medical reports, and how to consult with medical experts to establish the nature and extent of a work-related injury.

In addition, our seasoned litigators will explore ways of establishing third party liability against a party other than your employer that may have caused or contributed to you workplace injury, and may entitle you to damages over and above workers’ compensation benefits.

Third party liability often arises in construction site accidents, where a variety of companies and subcontractors are on site, and where many different kinds of machinery or equipment are being used. Industrial accidents where equipment fails as a result of a defect and causes an injury, or where dangerous chemicals cause toxic exposure, are other areas where you are likely to find third party liability.

When you hire the “Legal Eagles” at Kessler, DiGiovanni & Jesuele, LLP to represent you, you can be sure that all avenues to maximize your recovery will be thoroughly explored, and utilized.
