When you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be facing medical treatment and lost wages. Your future ability to take care of day-to-day expenses might be questionable. With the difficulty of lost wages or diminished earning potential, a serious personal injury or permanent disability can change your entire way of life.  The most common types of personal injury claims are car accidents, accidents at work, falling, assault claims, accidents in the home and product defect accidents.

Infant & Child injuries

Every day millions of Americans leave our children in the hand of alternative caregivers. We buy them toys that we believe are safe or let them play outside on playgrounds that will protect them from injuries if they fall.  Accidents happen every day but when preventable injuries happen due to negligence or product defects children have rights too! There future is depending on a safe, healthy, and happy upbringing.

Burn Injuries

Millions of people in the United States are severely burned and injured each year. Many burns are the result of some other person, company or organization and their negligence or failure to maintain legal safety standards. Burns are rated in degrees of severity, ranging from less serious (first-degree), to more serious (second-degree), to the most severe (third-degree). Burns can come from a variety of sources including fires, gas, electricity, scalding, hot objects, flammable liquids and much more. Injuries happen in their own home as well as from faulty products, vehicle related fires, restaurants, the workplace, at amusement parks, malls and others. Many burn cases are preventable and require a personal injury lawyer.  Victims receive settlements that help pay for their medical bills, hospital stays, physical therapies, loss of work, pain and suffering, wrongful death and many others. If you or a loved one has been involved in a preventable burn incident do not let those responsible get away, leaving you to pay the bills.

If you are injured in a work-related accident that has left you either temporarily or permanently unable to work, then you may want to consider contacting an attorney to make sure the workers’ compensation you receive adequately covers your needs.

Workers’ compensation is a “no fault” insurance program that provides the following benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses.

• Medical Benefits
• Temporary Total Benefits
• Permanent Partial Benefits
• Permanent Total Benefits

What if the workers’ compensation offer doesn’t meet my needs? What if I can’t return to my job? Will my employer fire me for filing a claim? How will I pay my bills?  In New Jersey understanding workers compensation law can be complex an overwhelming. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, so most civil actions on behalf of injured workers are not against your employer, but against their insurance. Many times an injured employee can find themselves with mixed information from the insurance company and their employer. Your claim may be denied or undervalued. At the Law Offices of Patricia A. Eiges, L.L.C. in Hazlet, New Jersey we are here to relieve the stress of sorting through all the details. Our job is to recover the benefits that you deserve. Insurance companies and employers can take advantage of an injured worker by denying a legitimate claim for medical benefits, undervaluing a claim for income benefits, pressuring the worker to return to work prematurely (including light duty work).

If you have suffered a workplace injury, it is extremely important that you discuss your claim with a workers’ compensation law attorney to help ensure you get the benefits that you deserve. Call today to schedule a free consultation.
