Total Disability Claims
New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Attorney
The workers’ compensation lawyers at our New Jersey law firm, New Jersey Workers Compensation Lawyer of JFM Law, know how catastrophic a workplace accident can be when it results in total disability. The sad reality is, however, that every worker permanently and totally disabled on the job does not succeed in prosecuting their total case. We believe that a significant consideration in the outcome of a total disability claim is not only the facts of the particular case but also the effort and experience of the lawyer representing the injured worker. Injured workers seeking total disability benefits can be assured that the total disability claims attorneys at our New Jersey workers’ compensation law firm will fight hard and wisely to ensure that they receive all of the benefits they are entitled to.
An injury resulting in a permanent inability to return to work can result from any number of accidents at work, including a fall from a building or roof, the collapse of a trench, a motor vehicle accident, a heavy equipment mishap or any other dangerous workplace exposure. Nonetheless, certain injuries are encountered more frequently in New Jersey total disability cases, such as lumbar disk herniation (lower back), cervical disk herniation (neck), spine fracture, paralysis, brain, and head trauma, burns, amputation, and chronic pain problems. Irrespective of the nature of the accident or injuries, it is important that a knowledgeable New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyer undertake a thorough review of the facts to properly develop a total disability case and to assess whether there is any potential for a third-party claim. It is also imperative that a determination be made as to whether or not the total disability was the result of a combination of injuries, one or more of which was preexisting, such that the New Jersey Second Injury Fund needs to be joined in the claim. Every workers’ compensation lawyer at our New Jersey law firm possesses expertise in handling all of these issues and knows exactly what needs to be done to properly prepare a total case.
