When individuals hire an attorney for a workers’ compensation-related case, they may have a number of questions about how the case will be handled. While an attorney can help them answer these questions, they may want to gather a number of items ahead of the first meeting.

To file a workers’ compensation claim petition, individuals typically need their social security number, name, and address. They may also need information about their employer and their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company.

The petition may also require information about the individual’s job, the nature of the injury, and how the injury was treated and reported.

If you or anyone you know has considered filing a workers’ compensation claim, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 1-888-389-COMP.
