Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be fired?
No, this absolutely should not happen. You should not be fired, harassed or retaliated in any way. If this does happen you may have an additional legal claim beyond workers’ compensation.
Do I have to prove my employer was at fault?
No. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. You receive benefits regardless of fault.
Can I choose my own doctor?
Generally, no. In New Jersey, the employer or their insurance carrier has the right to choose the treating doctor. However, if the authorized doctor is not providing proper care, we can challenge the treatment plan or seek a change of physician.
How much does a workers’ comp lawyer cost?
There are no upfront costs. Fees are contingent and approved by the court. All our consultations are free for injured workers.
How long do I have to file a claim?
You must file a workers’ compensation claim petition within two years of the injury or the last payment of compensation, whichever is later.
For occupational exposure claims, the two year period runs from the latest of: the last date of exposure, the last payment of compensation, or the date you first knew your condition was work-related.
What if my injury gets worse later?
In cases resolved by way of an “Order Approving Settlement” or awarded a judgment at trial, you can re-open your case within two years from the date you receive your last payment if your injuries become worse.
Even if working for a different employer the case can be re-opened.
What if my employer won’t report the claim?
If your employer will not report the injury contact us immediately. We can notify the insurance carrier directly and file the necessary documents to protect your claim.
