Unsure What Counts as a Workplace Accident in NJ?
Workplace accidents happen fast—falls, equipment failures, or even car crashes while driving for your job. You might wonder if you’re covered, especially if the accident was partly your fault or if you feel uneasy about telling your boss. The truth is, New Jersey’s no-fault workers’ compensation law protects most employees hurt on the job, regardless of how it happened. If you’re not sure what to do next, The Law Office of Albert J. Talone, LLC is here to explain your rights and handle the claim from start to finish, so you can focus on healing.
Common Types of Workplace Accidents We Handle
Falls and Scaffolding Accidents
Falls from ladders, scaffolds, or elevated platforms are a leading cause of injuries—especially for warehouse and construction workers. We help clients recover lost wages and medical care after any on-the-job fall.
Equipment and Machinery Accidents
Malfunctions or improper training can turn forklifts, presses, or power tools into hazards. Our firm has represented workers injured by heavy machinery in factories, warehouses, and job sites across New Jersey.
Motor Vehicle Accidents on the Job
Delivery drivers, sales reps, and anyone required to drive for work may be hurt in crashes. Whether you were struck on the road or in a parking lot, you can still file a workers’ comp claim—and in some cases, pursue additional compensation.
Fires, Explosions, and Electrical Shocks
Unexpected fires or power surges can cause severe burns and trauma. We’re ready to guide victims through the claims process and connect them with the best available care.
Construction Site Injuries
Busy job sites see all kinds of accidents, from falling debris to trench collapses. We know the unique risks in construction and help ensure every injury, big or small, is documented and compensated.
Missteps That Can Complicate a Claim
Getting benefits shouldn’t be a battle, but employers and insurers don’t always make it easy. With The Law Office Of Albert J. Talone, the process is clear, and you’re never left wondering what happens next.
Waiting to report your injury because you think it will “get better”—delays can lead to denied claims or missed benefits.
Failing to document every symptom, including pain that surfaces days after the accident.
Signing paperwork or recorded statements from insurance companies before talking to a lawyer.
Not realizing that even if you made a mistake, you’re still protected by NJ’s no-fault

Handling insurance calls yourself—one wrong answer can impact your case.
