Bergen County - Hudson County - Passaic County - Essex County

The workers compensation lawyers at Parisi & Gerlanc, PC, are devoted to representing injured workers in New Jersey. We are experienced in overcoming the difficulties many workers encounter when attempting to get necessary medical treatment and prompt benefit payments. Whether you have suffered a traumatic on-the-job injury, such as a fall resulting in a serious back injury, a temporary disability such as a repetitive stress injury or an occupational disease, our workers compensation lawyers can help you receive the benefits you deserve.

In New Jersey, workers compensation is a highly specialized area of law with many complications. Since 1936, the law firm of Parisi & Gerlanc has been representing the needs of workers in labor law and workers compensation law. We put our heart into fighting for working people. Contact our New Jersey workers compensation lawyers for a free initial consultation to discuss your claim.

Many workers think that workers compensation claims are a straightforward matter of informing their employer and waiting for the details to be handled. This is not always the case. If you rely upon the goodwill of your employer and the insurance company, you may find—too late—that your needs have not been protected and that you are not receiving the benefits you are due.

Workers compensation claims are detailed and technical, with strict deadlines and requirements that must be followed if you are to receive full financial compensation, get your medical bills paid, and be allowed sufficient time to recover your health.

At Parisi & Gerlanc, we have a medical professional on staff to review the circumstances of your workplace accident and to document the short- and long-term consequences of your work-related injury and any ongoing disability. We maintain a top-notch, diligent professional administrative staff to stay on top of the paperwork to ensure deadlines are met, and that our clients always know what is happening with their case.

In addition to helping you secure workers comp benefits, if someone other than your employer was responsible for your injuries—for example, if your construction site accident was the result of being struck by a tractor-trailer being used by a subcontractor—you may have the right to sue a third party for additional compensation. Our firm also represents clients with personal injury claims. Contact our office to speak to a personal injury attorney.

Social Security Disability Insurance

If you’ve suffered a disabling, permanent injury and are unable to work, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). We can help you apply. If you have been denied benefits, don’t lose hope. You have 60 days to appeal the decision. Contact our office; we can help you re-apply.
