Common Workplace Accidents

This may seem like a given but a workplace injury is any injury or illness sustained while in the workplace or due to the negligence of their employer.  

Some of the most common examples of the types of injury sustained in a workplace include injury of any of the soft tissue in the body such as muscle, injuries to the upper or lower back area, broken bones from falls or malfunctioning equipment, injuries sustained by the spinal cord that could lead to nerve damage or paralysis, injuries sustained to the brain, injuries caused by repetitive stress of the body, blindness or hearing loss caused by the environment of your job, anywhere from first degree to third-degree burns, amputations or loss of a vital part of the body.

The injuries are not strictly physical it is possible for workers to sustain a mental impact from traumatic events on the job or an unsafe environment. Along with physical injury and mental injury, illnesses can also be covered by the worker’s compensation your employer provides you.

These illnesses can be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals in the workplace. 

The legal team here at Flynn and Associates has the knowledge and experience to help you to determine whether your injury, mental trauma or illness was caused by or occurred during your employment. Another common question some workers have about their worker’s compensation is whether their pre-existing condition can be covered by workers’ compensation, luckily the answer to that is yes. 

However, we must prove that your pre-existing condition was made worse by the conditions of your workplace and stops you from completing the standards of your job. 

In conclusion any injury, mental trauma or illness that impairs your ability to complete the necessary parts of your job will be covered regardless of any injuries you had been living with before the workplace injury. 

Flynn and Associates will be there for you with all our experience and knowledge to help you through your claim from start to finish.

Steps to Take if You are Injured at Work

 If you have experienced or sustained an injury on the job or believe that your job leads to a work-related illness our legal team recommends that you report your injury or illness to your employer as soon as possible. There are extremely specific time limits placed on worker’s compensation claims if you try to file your claim after the deadline has passed your likelihood of collecting compensation can be severely diminished.

After alerting your employer to your injury the next step is to go see a doctor or healthcare professional with a specialty that can help to treat your injury. Not only is a doctor important to ensure that your injury is treated you will also need to have documented evidence that your injury is debilitating and does not allow you to work.

Your doctor or specialist will provide documented evidence for you to bring to your employer to strengthen your case for worker’s compensation. It is vitally important that you keep all documents and records from your employer, doctor, and the insurance company. 

These documents can help in the future if any issues arise in your receiving benefits.

Settling Your Work Injury Case

The most common way of handling a worker’s compensation is for you and your employer to settle the matter out of court to decrease legal fees and headaches for both sides. The compensation from a settlement can be given to you in two different ways either by lump sum or it can be dispersed over time. 

These settlement cases can be more complicated depending on the extent and severity of your injuries, your doctor’s long-term prognosis for you and your own individual circumstances. Our legal team has the experience to take even the most complicated cases and simplify them to ensure that you get the absolute best settlement compensation possible.

If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident or because of the negligent actions of your employer, we understand that it can be extremely confusing and difficult to determine your best steps forward.

Who can be sued in a third-party workplace injury lawsuit in New Jersey?


There are several possible parties that could be responsible for your accident and therefore could be responsible for paying out your compensation.

First, the owner of the property or building you work on maybe negligent and allow his property to fall into disrepair leaving the workers with an unsafe work environment.

Another possibility is the manufacturer of any faulty or dangerous equipment that can expose workers to serious danger. 

Finally, possible negligent parties may even be contractors or subcontractors that work in the same area as you, they could possibly leave their work environment unsafe for other workers.

In most cases, employees cannot sue their employer as long as the employer provides the employee with reasonable and fair workers’ compensation internally. 

However, there are some very specific circumstances that may allow you to sue your employer, equipment manufacturer or contractor/subcontractor, these are listed below:

  • In the case that your employer doesn’t provide workers compensation or allows their worker’s compensation policy to lapse leaving their employees open to serious financial trouble if they are injured.
  • In the case that your injury was caused by a defective product or piece of industrial equipment, you may be able to sue the manufacturer for their negligence in manufacturing their product.
  • If you develop an illness or serious condition due to exposure to toxic chemicals or other industrial components.
  • If your injury was caused by the negligence or malice of a third-party AKA, not your boss or overall employer.
  • Your employer acted out of malice to injure you and you can provide very substantial evidence.

These are commonly referred to as “third-party” lawsuits

In the case that you have the evidence to win a third-party lawsuit, it is very possible that you receive significantly more compensation than you would receive in a run of the mill worker’s comp case.

How might an NJ workplace injury attorney help my case?

Filing a worker’s compensation claim against your employer can be an extremely complicated issue that may leave you confused about whom exactly to go after for your compensation. When filing a claim or lawsuit against your employer it is absolutely vital that you have substantial evidence that your employers were negligent, intended to harm you or allowed their worker’s compensation to lapse and did not pay out your worker’s comp. 

With such a large standard of evidence, it is vitally important that you contact a New Jersey area worker’s compensation attorney to ensure that you can provide all the necessary evidence to get you the compensation you deserve.

The legal team here at Flynn and Associates will do everything in our power to ensure that you get the compensation necessary to support yourself as well as your family in this very turbulent time.  It is important to remember that there is a two-year statute of limitations or time limit that will leave your case dead on arrival if you allow it to pass without filing.

This time limit makes it very important that you contact a New Jersey Workers compensation attorney to ensure that your case can be filed on time and that you can collect the necessary evidence to win your case.
