Worker's Compensation

What is Workers' Compensation? What should I do if I am injured? How do I know if I have a Workers' Compensation claim? Facts About Workers Compensation Rights

What is Worker's Compensation?

Under the current employment laws of New Jersey and New York, workers compensation is a set of laws passed by the state that require your employer, or your employer's insurance company, to compensate you, or your family, for injuries or death that may occur while you are working. Unfortunately, some employers and the insurance companies will try to pay as little as possible or even deny injured workers the compensation they are entitled to.

That is why it is so important to contact a worker's compensation attorney if you were hurt while on the job in New York or in New Jersey. Only a workers compensation attorney will have your best interests at heart and will do everything possible to get you the total amount of compensation you deserve for your injuries.

If you or a loved one suffered an injury while working in New York or New Jersey, contact the Workers Compensation Attorneys of Bagolie Friedman today

Under New York & New Jersey Workers Compensation laws, you may be entitled to:
  • Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled and unable to work.
  • Payment of your medical expenses.
  • Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work related injury.
What should I do if I am injured?


You should report the injury immediately to your employer. If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier, as to what benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Industrial Commission. While it is not required that an attorney represent you to file your claim, the law and procedure for processing claims for work related injuries can be very difficult to understand.

 



Many times, the benefits that you may be entitled to are slow to be paid until you hire an attorney. Your employer and/or your employer's insurance company will have access to an attorney to represent them, you should also have access to an attorney. At Bagolie Friedman we would be happy to review your claim. We handle New Jersey and Florida Workers Compensation cases (also known as "workman's comp").
