Why do I need a lawyer to handle my New Jersey Workers’ Compensation claim?

The attorneys at Levinson Axelrod that practice Workers’ Compensation, only practice Workers’ Compensation, and are recognized leaders in the field for over a generation. There are quite a few attorneys in the State that “dabble” in Workers’ Compensation, and they might have been able to do adequately as recently as 5-years ago. However, due to recent changes in both State and Federal law, the complexity of cases, and the unwillingness of insurance carriers to cooperate, it is essential that you hire an attorney who is in Workers’ Compensation Court every day, protecting the rights of injured workers. You may ultimately choose not to file a claim, however, you should know all your rights, and we look forward to talking with you.
