If you have been injured at work due to an accident, broken equipment, repetitive heavy lifting, or by a coworker’s negligence you may have a Workers Compensation claim.

In the State of New Jersey and Pennsylvania you typically cannot file a personal injury civil suit against your Employer or a Co-worker.  These particular types of injuries must be filed in our State Courts of Workers Compensation.  Even if the accident was a result of your own negligence, you still may recover lost wages, medical bills, medical expenses, and also a monetary award for any lasting disability due to the injury.

If your injury occurred while at work, but is the fault of another party who is not a coworker, we may also bring a “third Party” claim against that individual to further enhance your potential recovery.   The attorneys at the Starkman Law Firm are experienced in all aspects of Workers Compensation and Third Party claims from intake through trial.

Our staff is also highly experienced in dealing with the maze of medical treatment, medical adjusters, medical authorizations, and their difficult filing process.  We promise to make your claim as easy and stress free as possible so that you can focus on healing and getting back to work for yourself and those who depend on you.

What Should You Do when You are Hurt At Work?
