WORKERS' COMPENSATION - ON THE JOB INJURIES

Have you been Injured on the job? Compensation is owed to you. But you need to claim it.

Have you been injured in a workplace accident? Are you suffering from a repetitive use injury that stems from a former job? The New Jersey workers' compensation laws make it clear that you are owed benefits. But you need to claim them to get them. Any injured worker is entitled to compensation. If your employer does not carry workers' comp (which is a criminal offense), you are still entitled to benefits under the Uninsured Employers' Fund (UEF), established through the New Jersey workers' compensation law.

At Simon Law Group with offices throughout New Jersey, our worker compensation lawyers are committed to seeing that employees receive full compensation for workplace injuries.

You should not be hesitant to make a claim for any workplace injury-not because you are afraid your employer will retaliate by firing you, not because your current back strain stems from a former back injury, and not because you feel responsible for an accident. As your attorneys, it is our job to protect you and help you recover compensation.
