Filing Your Claim

If you have been injured while on the job, you may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. However, it is important to know that these benefits are not automatically offered to employees following an injury. A worker must properly file a claim within a certain deadline to be considered for workers’ compensation. If you have been hurt while at work and are seeking payment from your employer, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today at 800-346-5529 for assistance with your claim.

Important Steps to Remember

You may not be able to anticipate a workplace injury, but you can prepare for it. Knowing your employer’s compensation policy now can help you to successfully file your claim if you are ever injured in the future. Some important steps to remember when filing include:

  • File before the deadline. Each employer has its own deadline for reporting an injury and filing for workers’ compensation. If you miss the deadline your claim may be automatically denied.
  • Have the injury examined by a medical professional. To file your claim, you will likely need an evaluation from a physician to verify the type and extent of your injury.
  • Fill out all required forms. The paperwork may seem extensive, but it is crucial to completely fill out your forms. Leaving even one item blank could cause your claim to be denied.

At Levinson Axelrod, our attorneys are committed to helping injured workers recover the compensation that they need. We have experience with the claims filing process and can help to ensure that your claim is completed and filed successfully the first time. If your claim is denied, we are prepared to represent your appeal to help you fight for the workers’ compensation that you deserve.
