Workers Compensation-Lawyer New Jersey

Every state has created set of rules for workers compensation. These rules are for workers who gets injury at the workplace. It is generally known as Workers compensation law. However in some cases, due to the negligence of third parties, compensation can also be sought outside of the court. A Third party is a company or person, aside from your employer, who is responsible for your injuries. In that case, a worker may have a claim in both workers compensation and against a third party. For Example, If a drunk driver hits a worker, then a worker will be able to collect workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, a worker can file a personal injury claim naming the drunk driver and her/his auto insurance company.

This type of claim is applicable in a few situations only. You need to discuss your situation with an attorney. As a result, an attorney can file a worker’s compensation case on your behalf. Talk to us now!

Below are few of the situations in which one can file a case:

Employer or a coworker has intentionally harm the worker
injury due to defective products
Exposed to toxic substances
Improper arrangement of Tools

Government has made an insurance program compulsory for every employer. However a victim can file a workers’ compensation case and seek claim from a third-party. Employees can recover lost wages, medical expenses, and other costs. Visit our office in New jersey to file a case.

One of the caveats of workers’ comp law is it does not provide for compensation in the form of “pain and suffering”. Rather, there is limitation based upon “functional loss.” A functional loss assessment is how a Judge will determine your compensation. It includes the inability to carry out tasks at work or in daily living. An attorney can help you get compensation for any anatomical change or “functional loss”. Give us a call for best advice.

What Makes Us Different than Other Attorneys?

After we file for a claim, our office will obtain the medical evidence. We will then send you to a health care provider that will measure your injuries. The insurance provider will do the same. These doctors will prepare reports of their findings with regard to your injuries or sickness. The reports are used at the time of settlements. If there is no settlement, the case will go to a trial before a Workers’ Compensation Judge. Trial court will determine the final percentage of disability. As a result, it will lead to final settlement in terms of compensation. We can deal your case easily. So, contact us today!

All settlements in Ocean County Workers’ Compensation Court will be subject to approval of the court. The Judge overseeing your case will ensure that you understand the terms of the settlement and hear your complaints to determine if the settlement is fair, just and reasonable. As, stated earlier you do not have to accept a settlement, but rather may proceed to trial if you choose and allow the Judge to make the decision. But know that if you do proceed to trial, you could get more than the proposed settlement, less than the proposed settlement, the same as the proposed settlement or perhaps nothing at all. The Judge will tell you this.

Paul Riviere did an outstanding job of representing me in my Tort Claim. Communication was excellent, my questions and concerns were answered and he was always ready to assist when needed. He really fought for me to get the settlement I needed and deserved. I highly recommend this attorney.

My family used Attorney Paul Riviere for some legal issues. Paul did a great job representing us. Whenever we called Paul, when we had questions, Paul always returned our calls with the answers. We were very satisfied with Mr. Riviere's work. We will definitely use Mr. Riviere again.

I hired Paul to represent my daughter in a partnership dispute. Although he was very good in the beginning negotiating a fair settlement, he has failed to help her in executing the terms of the contract. He has basically told us she can pursue payment due her in small claims court . He was paid a very hefty retainer which he has almost all exhausted. I feel like he has abandoned her without helping to enforce the settlement he helped navigate. She is still without payment due her which he never followed up on. Im sure he will expect more payment for that . I am disappointed in his lack of helping to enforce a vital part of this agreement .

I've been extremely taken aback by the acrimonious demeanor I've read, in the reviews, regarding The law firm of Riviere Cresci & Singer but specifically Mr, Paul Riviere. Esq. I first became acquainted with Mr. Riviere after I suffered an automobile accident. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Riveire, along with other perspective attorney's, while looking for representation. After meeting with Mr. Reviere I knew instantly that he was the man I was going to hire. Mr. Riviere proved to be the right choice not only from his business acumen but his personal interest as well in my health and welfare. I would highly recommend this firm and Mr. Reviere if you are looking for an established firm with a history of excellent client-attorney interaction.

Paul worked on a tax assessment case for my husband and I. Our town assessed our house and as a result our taxes were due to increase. Paul was excellent and time efficient. He fought our town to have the house re-assessed and as a result our taxes did not increase and we got are due for a refund from the township. Thanks so much for a job well done!

Paul worked on an expongment case for me that I thought would never go thru. Paul was very professional and really helped direct me to what I needed to do in order for him to get the job done. I can't thank him enough for his hard work. I recommend Paul to anyone for any case that they would need a lawyer for.
