Mark | Lavigne, LLC, understands the urgency of your situation. The firm’s team provides knowledgeable, focused legal service, and work one-on-one with its clients. They can give you and your case the personal attention needed for a positive outcome.
If you suffered a job injury, you are entitled to Workers Compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation will pay you for medical expenses and time off work – even gas and mileage for driving to the doctor’s office.
And if your injury disables you, you will have to work a lower paying job in the future. Workers’ compensation can reimburse you for your lost earning potential.
New Jersey’s Workman’s Compensation Policy
In New Jersey, every worker is entitled to benefits for on-the-job injuries. Employers are required to have Workers’ compensation insurance to pay those benefits. If they do not, they may be subject to heavy penalties.
If your employer doesn’t have Workers’ Comp insurance, New Jersey has a fund set up to pay benefits to workers in your situation.
