East Brunswick Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Denied or Delayed Claims

While the system should function smoothly and your benefits should be forthcoming, in many cases, an injured worker can face a denial of benefits, or a long delay when the employer chooses to dispute a valid claim.

Can I Sue For Emotional Distress?

If your job is causing you to be emotionally distressed, you may consider filing a claim to help compensate for this distress. If your work stress is impacting your mental state and your life outside of working hours, it may be in your best interest to pursue a claim.

We take on a range of workers’ compensation cases, including:

• Delayed benefits
• Denied benefits
• Third party lawsuits

Workers’ Compensation Benefits in New Jersey: Your Rights

By law, the workers’ compensation insurance company has 60 days in which to process your payment, and if a delay occurs, you are entitled to interest on any delayed payments. It is not uncommon for a payment to be delayed due to requests for more documentation.

While the process should be simple, most people find filing a claim to be a complicated process, as full documentation must be submitted, especially in cases of serious injuries that will require many months, years, or a lifetime of care.

The statute of limitations allows you two years in which to file a workers’ compensation claim, an important point in cases involving toxic exposure. In these cases, the clock is ticking from the time the illness or condition is discovered.
