Workplace Errors Continue to Cost Employees

Posted on February 24th, 2010 No Comments

Despite a general push to prevent accidents in the workplace, workers continue to be injured on the job. According to recently published statistics, approximately 100,000 New Jersey workers experience workplace injuries every year. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job, the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod may be able to help you get the money you need.

According to the report, the state’s workers’ compensation programs pay about $1.5 billion to injured workers every year. Unfortunately, not everyone receives the workers’ compensation benefits that they deserve. Studies indicate that a large number of employers encourage their employees to cover up injuries.

If you or someone you love has been injured in the workplace, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injury. Contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod today by calling 800-346-5529.
