Workers’ Compensation

If you were hurt while on the job, your employer and its workers’ comp insurance company should do everything possible to help you recover from your injuries and get you back on your feet – physically and financially.

Unfortunately, employers and their insurance companies often times do not make things easy for injured employees. In many of these cases, the difficulties and obstacles created by insurance companies are unnecessary, inappropriate, and completely contradict the law and spirit of New Jersey’s no-fault workers’ compensation system.

We recommend that you have an experienced workers’ compensation attorney by your side to ensure you receive all the benefits to which you are entitled, including the following:

Temporary Disability Benefits – are tax-free weekly benefits representing 70% of your gross weekly wage, payable up to 400 weeks. These benefits are payable while you are temporarily unable to work because of a work-related medical condition and under active medical treatment.

Medical Treatment – all reasonable and necessary medical charges to treat your work-related medical condition are payable by the workers’ compensation insurance carrier. The carrier has the initial right to authorize specific physicians who are competent to treat your condition. If a problem arises concerning the medical treatment you require, you have the right to make an application to a Judge of Workers’ Compensation. With our assistance, we can work with you and the Judge for a determination as to what, if any, additional compensable medical treatment you require.

Permanent Partial Disability – is additional compensation which is payable to you, if after your completion of compensable medical treatment, you have a measurable loss of physical function proven by “demonstrable objective medical evidence.” This benefit can be payable to you

Workers’ comp claimants are paid benefits based on the severity and nature of the work-related medical condition, not on who is to blame for the accident. You are covered by workers’ compensation starting the first day you begin working and employers (regardless of size) must have workers’ compensation coverage.

Our attorneys will never ask for a retainer fee. That means that you pay nothing right from the start. Legal fees are only payable once a claim is concluded and a Judge of Compensation orders the workers’ compensation insurance carrier to pay us the fee.

Social Security Disability

Suzanne Holz Meola heads the Social Security Disability Department at Petro Cohen and has more than 30 years of legal experience.

You may qualify for benefits if you are seriously and permanently disabled due to a medical or psychiatric condition, whether it is the result of a disease, accident, or congenital condition. You are able to apply for Social Security disability benefits at any time, as long as the medical evidence verifies that you will be unable to perform gainful work for 12 consecutive months or that your condition may result in death.

Our team at Petro Cohen can help you apply for benefits, request the reconsideration of a denial, or appeal a denial and ask for a hearing before the Social Security administrative law judge.
