Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey
injured on the job
i was injured while sitting at my desk june 23rd. a metal brochure holder that was filled and weighes anywhere between 50-80lbs was placed unsafely by a co-worker and fell on the back of my head causing me to black out for a split second and is now causing me nothing but pain and suffering. i've been out on workmans comp from 6/25 until 7/29 and a pain management doctor who was told to me that he was an orthopedic stopped all my physical therapy and sent me back to work 7/30. since then i have not been able to to go back and today i had a 2nd opinion on my injury. well this orthopedic informed me that i should have seen a neurologist based on having a concussion. now my workmans comp adjuster will not pay me for being out because the pain management doctor released me when he shouldn't have. i would like to speak to someone regarding my rights in this matter. thank you so much for y our time

Re: injured on the job
You have a very serious workers compensation injury. You definitely need an attorney to handle your case for you to ensure that all of your rights and benefits are protected. If the insurance company is not paying for any more medical treatment or time off from work, then a motion will need to be filed with the court to compel them to do this. I am an attorney who has handled very many cases similar to yours in various workers compensation courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact my office to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Re: injured on the job
When you are hurt on the job, you are entitled to receive authorized meedical treatment for your work-related injury until you have reached maximum medical improvement. If the insurance company has terminated your treatment prematurely you can file a claim with the workers compensation court and appear before a Judge on a motion to receive additional authorized treatment. I recommend you contact my office, or any other competent workers compensation to discuss your situation.
