New Jersey On the Job Slip and Fall Lawyers
If you or someone you love has suffered serious injuries due to a slip and fall while working in New Jersey, contact Lependorf & Silverstein for a free consultation. The law office of Lependorf & Silverstein has years of experience dealing with companies and their insurance providers in New Jersey on-the-job slip and fall matters. Generally, the injured party should not agree to speak with any representative of their company or an insurance provider before talking to an independent workplace accident lawyer for advice.
A Princeton slip and fall accident that occurs while on the job is covered by several specific laws in New Jersey. The injured worker is usually covered by insurance for these types of injuries, particularly while on the job. Many times, however, an employer's insurance company will refuse to pay much, if any, of the costs relating to the work related injury. Other times, the company's insurance will conduct an investigation and claim that the company was not responsible for the injury.
If you have been injured while at work in New Jersey, it is important to gather as much information about the incident as you can. Information that will be helpful will likely include contact information of witnesses, the time and place of the incident, the circumstances surrounding the event and the general area's state of cleanliness or disarray. If you are working in unsafe conditions you have rights, even if you signed a waiver with your employer. The only way you can protect yourself against the interests of companies not wanting to pay for your injury is by having an aggressive and professional legal complaint.
Several legal rights are afforded to anyone injured while on the job in New Jersey. These are covered by premises liability laws, workers compensation and the employer's insurance provider. Unfortunately we have seen all too many cases involving workplace slip and falls in New Jersey that have left the victim with the responsibility of paying for all of their bills. These bills include costs for medical expenses, time spent in the hospital, physical therapy, pain and suffering and loss of work. We have even seen instances where families were left responsible for paying for their family member's wrongful death.
