Workplace Accident Attorneys in New Jersey

A serious workplace injury can turn your life upside down. Medical bills, time away from work, and uncertainty about your future can create overwhelming stress for you and your family. At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., our experienced workplace accident attorneys help injured workers throughout New Jersey and New York recover the compensation they deserve — from workers’ compensation benefits to third-party personal injury claims.

We understand how difficult this time can be, and we’ll stand by you every step of the way.

Understanding Workplace Accident Claims

Every year, thousands of workers are injured on the job — from construction sites and warehouses to hospitals, offices, and delivery routes. While some cases are covered exclusively under workers’ compensation, others involve third-party liability, meaning another person or company (not your employer) may be legally responsible for your injuries.

Common causes of workplace accidents include:

  • Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops

  • Equipment or machinery malfunctions

  • Electrical shocks or burns

  • Falling objects or debris

  • Exposure to hazardous materials

  • Vehicle or forklift accidents

  • Unsafe premises or inadequate supervision

Our team investigates every detail of your case to determine all potential sources of recovery, not just workers’ comp benefits.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

While workers’ compensation provides essential benefits — including medical coverage and partial wage replacement — it may not fully account for your total losses. In some cases, you may also have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent third party, such as:

  • A subcontractor or general contractor who failed to maintain safe conditions

  • A manufacturer of defective equipment or tools

  • A property owner who allowed unsafe hazards

  • A driver who caused an accident while you were performing job duties

Our attorneys evaluate your situation carefully to determine every available path to full compensation.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses

  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering (through a third-party claim)

  • Disability benefits (temporary or permanent)

  • Death benefits for surviving family members

Our firm’s 25+ years of combined experience and history of millions recovered for injured clients give us the insight to fight for the true value of your claim — not the low offers insurers often make.
