Whether you work on a construction site, as a first responder or even in an office setting, the potential for work-related injuries and illness is always present.  When work conditions cause your injury or illness, however, you don’t have the right to sue your employer for compensation.

Injuries Sustained in Red Bank Work Accidents Give Employees the Right to Workers’ Compensation

Almost every worker who is an “employee” in Red Bank is entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for injuries sustained in a work accident.  Independent contractors, while ineligible for workers’ compensation, have the right to bring third-party claims against someone whose negligence caused their work accident.

Workers’ compensation claims can be based upon:

• Fall injuries, which can result in spinal cord injuries or brain injuries,
• Electrocution injuries,
• Injuries caused by fire or explosion,
• Burn injuries,
• Injuries caused by being struck by an object,
• Repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome,
• Crush injuries, which often result in broken bones, internal organ damage and even brain damage,
• Amputations and loss of limbs,
• Injuries caused by heavy lifting,
• Respiratory illnesses that are caused by repeated exposure to toxic chemicals and other substances at work, such as diseases caused by asbestos exposure, asthma, and COPD,
• Injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents that take place while you’re at work,
• Wrongful death.

Our New Jersey Accident Lawyers Help Red Bank Accident Victims Get Fair Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Collectively, our partners have over 80 years’ experience helping injured workers in Red Bank and across New Jersey get compensation for:

• Medical benefits.  Injured workers have the right to fair compensation for medical benefits under New Jersey workers’ compensation laws.  We can help you get the best possible treatment, as well as compensation for any claim that may have been challenged—including in-home modifications, follow-up testing for toxic exposure and more.

• Temporary disability benefits.  A temporary disability may be total or partial, depending upon your doctor’s orders.  Total temporary disability benefits cover a percentage of your average weekly wages.  We can also help you obtain partial disability benefits if your injury allows you to return to work part-time or for light-duty work at a lower pay rate.

• Permanent disability benefits.  When your work injury is severe enough, you may never be able to return to work, and you may be entitled to permanent disability benefits.

If the work injury resulted in the death of your loved one, New Jersey workers’ compensation also provides death benefits for surviving family members.

In some cases, you may even be entitled to file a lawsuit against a third party in addition to collecting workers’ compensation benefits.  Our lawyers also have experience handling these third-party claims against non-employers.
