N.J. workers compensation lawyer

Are you searching for an experienced N.J. Workers' compensation lawyer? Well, your search has ended...                   
I have passionately represented workers injured in the course of their employment for the past 35 years. I reminded daily by my clients of the nightmare of being out-of-work because of a work-related injury, and unable to contribute to the support of your spouse and children.

I will handle your workers' compensation claim with passion and patience, and make sure you receive the benefits you deserve.

Your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier is required by statute to provide you with:

• Medical benefits
• Temporary disability benefits (temporary total compensation)
• Permanent partial total benefits (if you are left with a permanent disability)
• Total permanent disability benefits (if you can no longer engage in gainful employment)

Here are 7 tips when you suffer an injury on the job

• Report your work related accident immediately to your employer
  
• Write down the names and addresses of any witnesses
• Go to the nearest hospital emergency room as soon as possible for treatment
• If you are unable to work, make sure you obtain a disability certificate from the doctor; and provide  your employer with a copy
  
• Your employer has the right to designate your treating physician. Do not choose a doctor on your own, except in an emergency
• Stay in touch with your employer, and let him know about your return to work statute
