Why New Jersey Workers Choose Our Firm for Workplace Injuries
When your future depends on the outcome of a single case, you need a law firm that combines courtroom skill with genuine commitment to your recovery. We take cases other firms turn away, including complex construction accident claims, industrial machinery injuries, and catastrophic burn cases, because we have the resources and willingness to go to trial against large corporations and their insurers.
- We identify every liable party. We investigate whether negligent contractors, equipment manufacturers, or other responsible third parties bear liability, giving you access to full compensation, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering and mental anguish.
- Direct access to medical professionals and experts. Relationships with accident reconstruction specialists, occupational physicians, and vocational experts ensure your injuries are documented with the medical knowledge necessary to maximize your recovery.
- We achieve fair settlements. Insurance companies know we prepare every case for trial. That leverage translates into higher settlements and, when necessary, substantial jury verdicts for our clients.

Third-Party Personal Injury Lawsuits
When your work-related injury was caused by someone other than your employer, such as a negligent contractor on a construction site, a manufacturer of defective equipment, or a driver involved in motor vehicle accidents, you have the right to file personal injury claims against those third parties. Personal injury lawsuits allow recovery for pain and suffering, economic damages, non-economic damages, and in some cases punitive damages. Injured workers can file personal injury claims against third parties in addition to receiving workers’ comp benefits, often resulting in significantly higher total compensation.
Our attorneys identify all responsible parties, build strong liability cases, and pursue the full compensation your injuries demand. Whether your case involves slip-and-fall injuries, defective products, or transportation incidents, we have the trial experience to recover damages at the highest level.
Employer Negligence Claims
New Jersey’s Workers’ Compensation Act generally makes workers’ compensation court the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, under the “intentional wrong” exception (N.J.S.A. 34:15-8), you can sue your employer in civil court if the employer knowingly exposed you to conditions that were substantially certain to cause serious injuries. In Laidlow v. Hariton Machinery Co. (2002), the New Jersey Supreme Court allowed a common-law lawsuit where an employer removed machine safety guards and misled OSHA inspectors; conduct that went beyond normal industrial risk.
These cases are difficult to prove but can carry substantial damage awards, including punitive damages. If your employer deliberately ignored occupational safety standards or removed safety equipment, we have the litigation skill to hold them accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay attorney fees upfront for a workplace injury case?
No. We handle every workplace injury case on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing upfront and owe no fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is free and carries no obligation to hire our firm. In New Jersey, attorneys cannot charge upfront fees in workplace injury or workers’ compensation cases.
How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in New Jersey?
For personal injury claims against third parties, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury.
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury in New Jersey?
Generally, no. Workers’ compensation is your exclusive remedy against your employer. However, there is an important exception: if your employer committed an “intentional wrong,” meaning they knew that injury was substantially certain to result from their actions and the danger went beyond normal industrial risks, you may pursue a personal injury case in civil court. You can also pursue third-party claims against other responsible parties whose negligence contributed to your work-related injury, such as contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners.
