Types of Serious & Permanent Injuries We Handle
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis

Herniated discs, fractures, or nerve damage can prevent you from returning to work. Our firm understands how to prove the full impact and fight lowball offers.
Loss of Limb or Amputation
Losing an arm, leg, hand, or foot is devastating—physically, emotionally, and financially. We pursue every available benefit, including lump-sum awards and adaptive support.
Chronic Pain Syndromes (RSD/CRPS)
Ongoing pain from work injuries can make even simple tasks impossible. We work with medical professionals to document the condition and pursue long-term compensation.
Loss of Function (Arm/Leg/Other Body Part)
If you lose significant use of any part of your body, New Jersey law may entitle you to ongoing payments based on your disability rating.
Mistakes That Can Undercut a Major Injury Claim
Accepting an insurance settlement before understanding the full value of your injury and future needs.
