Seeking Compensation from a Work Accident

Workplace accidents can have devastating consequences—physically, emotionally, and financially. In Woodbridge, NJ, injured workers may be eligible for compensation through workers' compensation benefits, third-party claims, or both.

Workers' Compensation

In most cases, workers are entitled to benefits regardless of fault. These benefits may include:

• Medical expenses
• Temporary disability benefits
• Permanent disability benefits
• Vocational rehabilitation

However, filing a successful claim can be complex, and employers or insurance companies often attempt to deny or minimize benefits. That's where a skilled Woodbridge work accident lawyer can make all the difference.

Third-Party Liability

If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer—such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. These claims can provide compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Lost earning capacity
• Future medical costs
• Emotional distress

Palmisano & Goodman, P.A. will explore every legal avenue to maximize your recovery. Our team has decades of experience litigating construction and workplace accident cases throughout Woodbridge and Middlesex County.
