In most cases, you can’t sue your employer directly for a work-related injury due to workers’ compensation laws. However, you may be able to file a lawsuit against third parties who contributed to your accident. Our attorneys can help you explore all available options for compensation.
If your employer fails to carry required workers’ compensation insurance, you may be able to sue them directly or seek benefits from the Uninsured Employer’s Fund. Our legal team can guide you through this process and help you understand your rights.
The value of your case depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your future earning capacity. Our attorneys will carefully evaluate your case to determine a fair value and fight for maximum compensation on your behalf.
Insurance companies often make low initial offers that don’t fully cover your losses. Before accepting any settlement, consult with our experienced attorneys. We’ll review the offer and advise you on whether it’s fair or if you should negotiate for more.
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys will work to minimize any allegations of fault against you and maximize your recovery.
