Workers' Compensation
Gaylord, Rubinstein & Popp, LLC represent clients throughout New Jersey, including but not limited to Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Mercer, Middlesex, and Ocean counties. We represent employees and workers who have been injured while on the job and are either out of work permanently or temporarily. When a worker is hurt or injured while performing their duties at work, there is a specialized area of legislation - workers' compensation law - that governs from whom and how much an injured employee can recover. Workers' compensation law provides immediate assistance to injured workers in the form of: TEMPORARY DISABILITY BENEFITS (TDB) - MEDICAL BENEFITS, AND A PERMANENCY AWARD AT THE END OF THE CASE.
There are many less well-known issues related to workers' compensation cases that only an experienced trial lawyer can assist an injured worker with. Virtually every workers' compensation case in New Jersey must go to a workers' compensation court prior to its completion and be heard by a judge of compensation. We will be by your side through every step of the process.
In New Jersey, the Division of Workers' Compensation seeks to ensure that proper benefits are paid to workers who are injured on the job in addition to enforcing the law requiring employers to obtain insurance coverage for their employees. Work related injuries or illnesses that commonly trigger a workers' compensation claim or coverage in New Jersey include the following:
- Abrasions, contusions and lacerations
- Amputations, paralysis, and quadriplegia
- Asbestos exposure
- Back injuries, head injuries, knee injuries, neck injuries and shoulder injuries
- Broken bones, fractures, breaks, and dislocations
- Burns, disfigurement and scarring
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and repetitive stress disorders
- Chemical burns and toxic chemical exposure
- Work-related stress, emotional trauma, and psychiatric disabilities

At Gaylord, Rubinstein & Popp, LLC, our workers' compensation lawyers help injured workers receive payment for medical bills, job training, temporary disability benefits, permanent partial disability benefits, total disability benefits, and death benefits if a fatal accident occurred.
