Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Workman's comp.

I fell in work and was injured. 1/8/08 I had surgery on my meniscus (knee). I am currently out of work on workman's comp. I go to physical terapy 2 X per week. Today the Dr. gave me a cortozone shot because the pain is not subsiding. I have no relief from that shot as of yet. What are my alernatives?

I do not feel that i can return to work in this condition. I am worried it might not get any better. What is needed for permanant disability? (if this would even apply) Would that be from my employer or the state? What about my health insurance that I carry thru my job? will i lose that? I do not know where to turn for answers, anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated. FYI I am a 58 years old female.

Re: Workman's comp.

Please don't worry. SO far everything seems to be going the way it is supposed to, even though you haven't had relief from the pain yet. You certainly sound like you will be entitled to get some amount of a permanent disability award, but in order to ensure that you get the best possible result you should hire an experienced professional to assist you in the complex workers compensation process. I am an attorney who has handled hundreds of workers compensation cases in various workers compensation courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I wold like to discuss your case in more detail with you to see how I can assist you. Please contact me. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
