Workers' Compensation Attorney in Newark

If you get hurt on the job, you should be compensated appropriately. Unfortunately, many work injuries are met with denied claims or inadequate benefits. That’s why you should hire a lawyer to help you fight improper treatment; hiring a lawyer can even get you three times more than your initial offer.

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so you don’t have to prove the reason for the injury. However, claims are still denied or underpaid all the time. Our workers’ compensation lawyers have the skills, experience, and resources to appeal a denied claim and get you the amount you’re owed.

You may be eligible for workers’ compensation if you’ve experienced any of the following while at work:

• Hearing damage or loss
• Occupational illnesses like mesothelioma
• Concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and other types of head trauma
• Broken or fractured bones
• Muscle injuries or torn ligaments
• Repetitive motion injuries

This is by no means an exhaustive list of workplace injuries. If you’ve been hurt on the job, Morgan & Morgan’s workers’ compensation attorneys may be able to help.

Appealing a Denied Claim

You have the right to appeal a denied workers’ compensation claim — but why would a claim be denied in the first place? Claim denials may be issued because the insurance company says:

• The injury isn’t work-related
• The employee is misrepresenting the injury
• The injury stemmed from a preexisting condition

This can be frustrating because you know the details of your injury better than anyone else: you know whether or not you should receive benefits. In times like these, you can count on us to fight for you.
