Freehold Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Serving Monmouth County
If you were injured at work in Freehold or anywhere in Monmouth County, the Law Office of Tara Breslow represents injured employees in workers’ compensation claims under New Jersey law. Our office is located at 25 Monument Street in Freehold, New Jersey, directly across the street from the Monmouth County Superior Court, providing convenient access for hearings, filings, and contested workers’ compensation matters.
Workers’ compensation in New Jersey is a no-fault system designed to provide medical treatment and wage replacement benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or occupational illnesses. You may be entitled to benefits even if no one was negligent, even if your employer disputes the claim, and even if the injury developed gradually over time.
We represent injured workers throughout Freehold, Manalapan, Marlboro, Howell, Colts Neck, Holmdel, Middletown, Red Bank, Tinton Falls, and all of Monmouth County in workers’ compensation claims, denied claims, hearings, and settlement negotiations.
Common Workplace Injuries We Handle
Examples of workplace injuries we regularly handle include:
- Slip and fall accidents caused by unsafe floors, stairs, or walkways
- Construction site injuries involving falls, equipment, or unsafe conditions
- Back and spinal injuries from lifting, bending, or repetitive motion
- Shoulder, rotator cuff, knee, hip, and joint injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis
- Occupational illnesses and toxic exposure claims
- Work-related motor vehicle accidents involving company or personal vehicles
- Aggravation or worsening of pre-existing injuries
Many valid claims are initially denied when employers or insurance carriers argue that an injury is pre-existing or unrelated to work duties.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits Available in New Jersey
Workers’ compensation benefits may include:
Medical Benefits
All reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to the work injury, including doctor visits, diagnostics, physical therapy, surgery, and prescriptions.
Temporary Disability Benefits
Wage replacement benefits if your injury prevents you from working for more than seven days.
Permanent Partial Disability
Compensation for permanent injuries that partially limit function or ability to work.
Ongoing benefits if you are unable to return to gainful employment.
Death Benefits
Financial support for dependents when a work-related injury or illness results in death.
Denied or Disputed Workers’ Compensation Claims
Insurance carriers frequently deny or delay workers’ compensation claims based on allegations of pre-existing conditions, causation disputes, delayed reporting, or treatment gaps. A denial does not mean your case is over.
Examples of disputed claims include back injuries labeled as degenerative, shoulder injuries disputed as non-work-related, and repetitive stress injuries denied due to the absence of a single accident date. These disputes often require legal action, including claim petitions, motions for medical treatment, and hearings before a Judge of Compensation.
What to Do After a Work Injury
- Report the injury to your employer immediately
- Seek authorized medical treatment
- Follow all medical recommendations
- Document symptoms, treatment, and missed work
- Speak with a workers’ compensation attorney before accepting any settlement
Third-Party Injury Claims
In some cases, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation if a third party caused your injury, such as negligent contractors, defective equipment manufacturers, property owners, or drivers in work-related auto accidents.
Third-party claims may allow recovery for pain and suffering, which is not available through workers’ compensation alone.
