Why Do I Need a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

An injury at the workplace can leave a worker uncertain about what steps to take. An employee may file a workers’ compensation claim through his or her employer’s insurance company. However, this process can prove confusing and a simple, honest mistake on your part during the filing can lead to a needless delay or outright dismissal of your claim. Working closely with a skilled and experienced attorney can help you to avoid these errors and to ensure that your rights are protected.

If you have been hurt in the workplace, it is advisable to speak directly with a passionately committed legal ally about your case. Contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP today. We can help you from the initial filing of a claim through litigation, if it should become necessary.

Litigation and Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation litigation does not work in the same manner that other types of lawsuits do. Instead, these are a response by injured workers to denial of workers’ compensation claims. It is important to note that these lawsuits do not permit seeking additional compensation for concerns like pain and suffering or emotional damages.

An attorney can help with the following:

  • Insufficient compensation from an injury claim
  • Denial of a claim
  • Fraudulent actions on the part of the employer or insurer
  • Claims filing assistance
