Worker's Compensation

Northern New Jersey Work Injury Lawyer

Workers' Compensation Claims in Essex County and Beyond

While most workplace accidents result in minor injuries, many workplace accidents result in temporary or lasting disability or even death. If your employer's insurance carrier has added insult to injury by denying or limiting your workers' compensation claim, contact an lawyer who can get results for you.

Michael V. Calabro, Attorney at Law, aggressively pursues your full and rightful benefits. His Newark law practice represents injured workers of Essex County and nearby counties of New Jersey in workers' compensation claims and appeals, as well as third party liability claims.

Mr. Calabro handles the full spectrum of workers' comp claims, from temporary disability or loss of use (permanent partial disability) to total permanent disability or death benefits. He works to ensure that clients (or survivors) recover for their medical bills and lost wages, as well as all entitled benefits. Workman's comp covers all work-related injuries, without regard to fault:

• Back injuries from lifting, bending, or twisting
• Injuries to knees, shoulders, and joints
• Falls from heights
• Slip and falls
• On-duty auto accidents (company vehicle or personal vehicle)
• Fires and explosions
• Forklift, heavy equipment, and machinery injuries
• Catastrophic injuries (brain injury, loss of limb, spinal injury, eye injury, severe burns)

A worker’s compensation claim is not always linked to a specific incident. You can also receive occupational disease benefits for cumulative trauma:

• Injuries resulting from years of repetitive motion tasks
• Lung disease from long-term exposures to fibers, dust, or toxic fumes
• Hearing loss from noisy work environs

Third party litigation—Under worker’s comp law, you cannot sue your employer or co-worker even if their negligence caused your workplace injury. However, Mr. Calabro will determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit against a third party. For example, he represented a landscaping foreman who was driving his workers home when his vehicle was struck by another car. On behalf of the client, Mr. Calabro sued the negligent driver who caused the accident.
