Helping Get You Maximum Compensation Since 1955
Despite what your employer, friend, or a well-meaning family member might have said, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you sustain a work-related injury. Unfortunately, getting those benefits isn’t always the most straightforward task. You may face roadblocks from your boss, their insurance company, or your co-workers, but we are here to tackle those challenges head-on and get you the money you deserve.
The Somerset County personal injury lawyers at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC support good, honest, and hard-working people like you during some of the most difficult times in their lives. When you are worried about how to put food on your table, pay your bills on time, and get medical treatment after a work injury, you work nonstop until you obtain the benefits you so desperately need and deserve. We do not collect any legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you, and your first consultation is free.
To receive workers’ compensation benefits in Somerset County and New Jersey, your injury or illness must have occurred “during your employment.” This means you were injured while performing your work, or you became ill because of the conditions at your job.
Here are some examples:
The injury must be directly related to your work. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance program. You are entitled to benefits even if the accident was your fault.
If the accident occurred outside your job duties or while you were not at work, workers’ compensation will not likely cover it. If you have a preexisting condition that was made worse by a job-related injury, you may be partially covered for treatment.

Following a settlement conference, we successfully negotiated a $192,891.00 workers’ compensation settlement on behalf of our client.
If you were hurt at work, your employer must pay for all your medical treatment relating to the injury. This includes hospital bills, doctor’s visits, prescriptions, physical therapy, and medical devices (such as crutches).
If you are out of work for more than seven days, you may be able to collect temporary total disability benefits at a rate of 70% of your average weekly wage. Your benefits stop when you return to work or reach maximum medical improvement. Please speak with one of our attorneys today who is well-versed in Somerset County workers’ comp law.
There are additional benefits available to you if you sustain a permanent injury. Additionally, family members of workers who died on the job may be entitled to compensation. Ask our Somerset County workers’ compensation lawyers for more information about death benefits to see if you qualify.
