New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Who Get You Through the System

At Burns & Associates, we represent employees who are injured on the job in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private, federal, and state employers and their workers’ compensation insurers. New Jersey workers’ compensation benefits are normally available to employees who suffer an injury that arose in the course and scope of their employment.

Work related injuries typically covered by workers’ compensation include:

Neck and Back Injuries
Orthopedic Injuries
Carpal Tunnel
Repetitive Trauma Injuries
Hearing Problems
Eye Injuries
Work-Related Heart Attack or Stroke
Occupational Diseases
Work-Related Asthma

At Burns & Associates, our workers’ compensation attorneys also handle “third party” claims against individuals or companies other than your employer that may be responsible for a work-related injury. A third party personal injury case can be brought in addition to a workers’ compensation case. Unlike a workers’ compensation case, third party actions can include recovery for pain and suffering and future damages.

At Burns & Associates, we have handled countless workers’ compensation claims over the years. Our attorneys guide clients through the complicated rules of New Jersey workers’ compensation law so they can receive fair resolution to their work-related claims.
