On-the-job injuries– The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that private employers in New Jersey reported 69,000 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2019. Many of these injuries are the result of employers actively or passively failing to make safety a priority, which results in unsafe working conditions. A Roseland workers’ compensation lawyer can help you get the benefits you’re entitled to for your medical bills and lost wages.
Medical malpractice– Medical errors are now the third-leading cause of death in the United States, according to a 2016 study. These errors run the gamut from medication mistakes and botched lab tests to wrong-site surgeries and incorrect diagnoses.
Premises liability injuries– When landlords get careless or negligent, tenants and guests can suffer serious harm as a result. Failing to repair broken stairwells or guardrails, not cleaning up spilled liquids, leaving loose electrical cords around, and other forms of neglect can cause accidents that may result in serious injuries.
