Protect Your Right to Full Compensation with Your New Jersey Workers' Comp Claim
If you have experienced workplace injury, you have rights under New Jersey law. You may qualify for workers' compensation benefits to pay for your medical bills, as well as lost wages. If your injury results in permanent, full or partial disability, you may be eligible for a lump sum settlement, too.
While these benefits are there to protect injured workers, getting all the benefits you are owed sometimes requires the help of a workers' comp lawyer.
At the Law Office of Edward P. Vidal, we educate injured workers about their rights under New Jersey Workers' Compensation law, and work to protect their financial interests after a workplace accident. Contact our Moorestown law office if you have suffered an on-the-job injury or a work-related illness.
Legal Help with New Jersey Workers' Comp Injury Claims
It is important to report your injury immediately to your supervisor or employer. Failing to promptly report an injury is one of the most common mistakes injured workers make that cause them to have problems getting compensation later.
Once you have gotten medical help, your next step should be to talk to a lawyer and find out more about the benefits you are owed and your rights as an injured worker. Workers' compensation is more complex than most people think. Following all the steps properly, getting paperwork completed promptly and accurately, and avoiding actions that could cause the insurance company to question your injury--these are all important considerations.
Failing to handle your workers comp claim properly can result in:
- Some or all medical bills being unpaid
- Not getting your full recovery period before you are told to go back to work
- Not receiving all the money you are due
Attorney Edward P. Vidal has handled many workers' compensation cases and appeals for South Jersey injured workers. He and his legal team will handle every detail of your claim and advise you how you can protect your rights.
