New Jersey On the Job Slip and Fall Lawyers
A slip and fall accident that occurs while at work is covered by several specific laws in New Jersey. The injured party 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 injury. Other times the company's insurance will conduct an investigation and claim that the company was not responsible for the injury.
If you or someone you love has been injured due to a slip and fall while working, contact our office for a free investigation. The law office of Lependorf & Silverstein has years of experience dealing with companies and their insurance providers in on-the-job New Jersey slip and fall incidents. The injured party should generally not agree to speak with any representative of their company or an insurance provider before talking to an independent lawyer for advice.
Several legal rights are afforded to anyone injured while on the job. 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 time spent in the hospital, medical expenses, 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.
If you are injured while at work it is important to gather as much information about the incident as you can. Information will likely include any 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.
