Many workers in health care, construction, factories and other labor-intensive jobs that require frequent lifting, bending and working on ladders are prone to back and shoulder injuries over time. Likewise, truck drivers and employees in roles requiring long periods of sitting may develop chronic back pain due to the physical strain. When your job requires you to frequently stoop or bend down, lift and work on ladders, these activities place strain on your body and can result in injuries over time. Slip-and-falls can lead to ruptured disks, broken shoulders and other serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our lawyers have over 40 combined years of legal experience assisting New Jersey workers<\/a> with claims involving back and shoulder injuries that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your job involves any of these risk factors, it\u2019s essential to know that you could be entitled to workers\u2019 compensation for your injuries. Time is of the essence, so act promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back injuries are some of the costliest workplace injuries, with both direct and indirect costs to consider. Direct costs include medical bills, rehabilitation expenses and ongoing treatments. Indirect costs can encompass lost wages, reduced future earning capacity and the personal toll of living with chronic pain. OSHA emphasizes that the full financial impact<\/a> of these injuries can be substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim for a back injury, you can typically seek coverage for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each case is unique, and an experienced attorney can help calculate the full value of your claim to make sure you receive fair compensation for both immediate medical needs and future expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Jersey law provides workers with a two-year statute of limitations to file a claim for workers\u2019 compensation from the date of the injury or the last date of compensation, whichever is later. You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights, especially if your workers\u2019 comp claim is denied or doesn\u2019t cover the full extent of your medical bills, lost wages and rehabilitation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your workers\u2019 compensation isn\u2019t covering your expenses, or if your injury results in permanent damage, you may need to pursue a settlement. An experienced attorney can help guide you through the process and ensure you\u2019re not left shouldering the financial burden alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Jersey workers have a limited time to apply for benefits through their employers\u2019 workers\u2019 compensation programs.
