Common Types Of Workplace Injuries We See

Workplace injuries are not always dramatic or obvious. Sometimes it’s something that builds up over time, like back pain or repetitive motion injuries. Other times, it’s a serious accident that changes everything in an instant.

The Castellani Law Firm has seen it all. Here are some of the most common types of workplace injuries we help clients with:

Your Rights As An Injured Worker In New Jersey

Workers' compensation laws are there to protect you. If you’re hurt on the job, you’re generally entitled to benefits. And you don’t have to prove your boss did something wrong to get them.

You have the right to:

Medical treatment for your injuries.
Temporary disability payments while you can’t work.
Permanent disability compensation if you don’t fully recover.
Job protection - you can’t be fired just for filing a workers' comp claim.
Appeal a denial if your claim gets rejected.

But here’s the catch: insurance companies don’t always make things easy. Sometimes they delay, deny, or lowball your claim. That’s where we come in. We know how to push back, and we don’t let them play games with your future.

What Compensation Am I Entitled To?

You might be wondering, “How much is my case worth?” Here’s a quick breakdown of the types of compensation you could get in a workplace injury case in South Jersey:

Medical expenses (doctor visits, hospital stays, surgery, rehab, prescriptions etc..)
Lost wages if you can’t work while you recover
Permanent disability if you’re left with long-term damage
Job retraining or vocational help
Death benefits

Every case is different. The type and amount of compensation depends on how badly you were hurt, how long you're out of work, and what kind of recovery you can expect.

We’ll help you figure out exactly what you’re entitled to - and we’ll fight to get it.

‍

When Does A Workplace Injury Become A Personal Injury Case?

This is something a lot of people don’t realize: not every workplace injury stops at a workers’ comp claim. Sometimes, it can actually become a personal injury case, and that usually means you could be entitled to even more compensation.

Workers' comp is there to cover your medical bills and a portion of lost wages, no matter how the accident happened. But if someone outside your job caused your injury like a subcontractor, a delivery driver, or the manufacturer of a faulty piece of equipment, you may be able to file a personal injury claim on top of workers’ comp.

The best way to find out is to just give us a call. We’ll look at the details and let you know what kind of case you’ve got, and what you might be missing out on if you don’t act.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to report a workplace injury in NJ?

In New Jersey, you’ve got 90 days to report your workplace injury to your employer. But don’t wait. The sooner you report it, the better. Waiting too long can affect your ability to get benefits or even lead to a denied claim.

Tell your supervisor or HR as soon as you can.

What if my workers’ comp claim was denied?

This happens more often than you’d think, and it’s not the end of the road. Insurance companies deny claims for all kinds of reasons, and many of them are flat-out wrong or just based on missing paperwork.

We can help you appeal the denial and fight to get your benefits. Sometimes it’s just a matter of getting the right documents. Other times, we need to go to court.

Can I be fired for filing a workplace injury claim?

No. In New Jersey, it’s illegal for your employer to fire or retaliate against you just because you filed a workers’ comp claim. That includes cutting your hours, demoting you, or treating you differently after your workplace injury.

If they do, you may have a separate legal claim against them - and we can help with that, too.

What if was partially at fault for my injury?

Workers’ comp is a no-fault system. That means even if the accident was partly your fault (or even mostly your fault) you can still qualify for benefits.

Unless you were doing something totally reckless or illegal (like fighting on the job or working under the influence), you should still be covered.

How much does it cost to hire a south jersey workplace injury lawyer?

It costs you nothing upfront to hire us. We work on a contingency fee basis, which just means we only get paid if we win your case. No hourly rates. No surprise fees.

If we win, our fee comes out of the settlement or benefits you receive and not your pocket.
