Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Re: How does settlement work?

If you do not already hnave an attorney you should get one right away. There are no out of pocket expenses to you for retaining a lawyer. For the kind of injury you have you will probably be entitled to receive partial disability, either to your leg or for what is called partial total disability. If the doctor your lawyer sends you to finds disability only affecting your leg, then you will receive payment for your leg. If the doctor finds that your disability affects your entire person, then you could be entitled to a partial total disability award. The percentage amount of the award is based on the medical reports and negotiations between the attorneys, with final approval by the judge assigned to your case. Once a percentage of disability is determined, this is then translated into a dollar value based on a chart created by the state legislature. You have a serious enough injury and the workers compensation law is fairly complex, so you should not try to go it alone. I am an attorney who has handled very many cases similar to yours in various workers compensation courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss yor case with you in more detail. Please contact my office about your case. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, esq.-
