Construction, warehouse, restaurant, healthcare, office — if you got hurt doing your job in New Jersey, the law protects your right to medical care, lost wages, and disability benefits.
You pay nothing out of pocket. By NJ law, our fee comes from a percentage of your award — capped by statute.

Different court, different rules, different judges. We know how NJ's system works — and how to keep your case from getting lost in it.
Falls, scaffolding, electric shock, heavy machinery — construction is dangerous work, and there may be a claim against a third party on top of workers' comp.
Warehouse, healthcare, kitchens, delivery — jobs that wear the body down. The company doctor may call it "just a sore back," but sometimes it's a real claim.
A case isn't a file number. To that person there is a wife, a mother, a father, a sister — a household.
A slip and fall, faulty equipment, a crash on the clock. If you were on the job when it happened, it's likely covered — even if the company says otherwise.
Carpal tunnel, hearing loss, chronic back pain, chemical or asbestos exposure — injuries that build up over years. They don't look like one accident, but sometimes they're a real claim.
Your situation isn't on this list? Call anyway.
They count on you not knowing your rights.
I spent the start of my career defending insurance companies — including the carriers behind a lot of workers' comp claims. I know what they tell their adjusters to do, which claims they fight, and which workers they hope will give up. A lot of injured workers walk away from real claims because nobody told them what they were entitled to. That's the part of the work I care about most: making sure you actually know what's possible before anyone tries to close your case.
Retaliation against an employee who files a workers' comp claim is illegal under NJ law. A lot of workers don't file because they're afraid of losing their job — and the employer often counts on that fear.
In NJ, the employer's insurance picks the authorized treating physician. That doctor is paid by the carrier. If your treatment is being cut short or your injury is being minimized, there are ways to push back.
Permanency ratings and settlement offers from the carrier can be challenged. Most workers don't know that. Knowing it changes how the conversation goes.
After seven years of being ignored and dismissed I finally found someone who saw me and my pain. Little did I know the uphill battle we would soon face, she fought so incredibly hard, fiercely and determined on my behalf.
She exceeded all my expectations. Her professionalism and expertise gave me confidence throughout the entire process.

NJ requires you to notify your employer of a work injury quickly. The longer you wait, the easier it becomes for the carrier to argue it didn't happen on the job.
The authorized doctor may already be forming conclusions about your case. Co-workers' memories of what happened start to fade. What's documented now becomes much harder to add later.
Gaps in treatment, signed forms you didn't fully understand, conversations with the adjuster that get used against you. Cases that come in early tend to fare better than ones that come in late.
Nothing out of pocket. In NJ, workers' comp attorney fees come out of your award and are capped by statute. If we don't win for you, you don't owe us anything. No retainer, no hourly bills, no surprise invoices.
It's illegal in NJ for an employer to fire, demote, or retaliate against you for filing a workers' comp claim. That doesn't mean it never happens — but when it does, it's its own legal violation. The fear of being fired is the single biggest reason workers don't file, and it's exactly what carriers and employers count on. If something feels off at work after you file, tell your lawyer right away.
That's one of the most common moves carriers make to deny a claim — and it's often wrong. If you were doing your job when the injury happened, or your job caused the condition over time, the law generally treats it as a workers' comp matter. Don't let the employer's position be the final word. Call us — we can tell you whether what they're saying actually holds up.
It depends on your injuries, how the carrier handles your case, and whether your permanency rating is contested. Cases with clear injuries and cooperative carriers can resolve in months. Contested cases or serious injuries can take a year or more. We won't push for a fast settlement that shortchanges you — and we'll give you a realistic timeline when you call.
Pick up the phone. We'll handle the rest.
