Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in New Jersey

New Jersey workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. If you were hurt doing your job, or developed an illness caused by your work, you are generally entitled to benefits no matter who was at fault. Almost every employer in New Jersey must carry workers’ compensation insurance, and the benefits cover full-time, part-time and seasonal workers alike.

But getting those benefits isn’t always simple. Insurers deny claims, cut off treatment, send you back to work too soon, or offer a low permanency award. IBEZIM LAW OFFICES, PC represents injured workers before the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation. Attorney Sebastian O. Ibezim, Jr. has practiced law in New Jersey since 1997, with nearly 30 years of trial and litigation experience. We explain your rights in plain language, handle the paperwork and hearings, and push for the treatment and benefits you need.

New Jersey Workers’ Comp Rules to Know

Hurt in a crash while working? You may have both a workers’ compensation claim and a claim against the at-fault driver. These cases involve rules about which insurance pays first and liens on your recovery, so it helps to have one firm handle both. See our truck accident and Uber and Lyft pages.

What to Do After a Workplace Injury

1. Get medical care. Call 911 for an emergency, and tell every provider that you were hurt at work.
2. Report the injury to your supervisor right away. Do it in writing if you can, and keep a copy.
3. Write down what happened. Note the date, time, place, what you were doing and who saw it.
4. Follow the authorized treatment. Go to your appointments and keep copies of work notes and restrictions.
5. Don’t sign anything you don’t understand. That includes recorded statements and settlement papers.
6. Call a workers’ compensation lawyer. Especially if your claim is denied, your checks stop, or you’re told to return before you’re ready.
