Workers’ Compensation Attorneys for New Jersey Workers

The workers’ compensation system in New Jersey is supposed to help injured workers by paying the costs of reasonable and necessary medical treatment. Injured workers are also eligible to receive partial lost wages if they will be unable to work for some time. After being injured, the worker notifies the employer, who is required to notify the Division of Workers’ Compensation.

Do you need a lawyer for a back injury at work? Employers and their insurance companies can deny claims for benefits. They may challenge the extent of your injuries or claim they were not work-related. They may dispute the need for certain types of testing or treatment. This makes it much more difficult to get the treatment you need so you can recover as much as possible.
