If you’re injured on the job, you have the legal right to receive:
Workers’ compensation is designed to help you recover — but employers and insurance companies often make the process difficult. Claims can be denied, benefits delayed, and medical care restricted without proper legal guidance. At Joseph M. Ghabour & Associates LLC, we step in to ensure your rights are respected and your benefits are protected.
Our firm assists clients through all aspects of the workers’ compensation process, including:
We advocate for injured workers in all industries — including construction, warehouse labor, office work, healthcare, retail, and transportation.
Your employer (through their insurance carrier) is responsible for all necessary medical treatment related to your workplace injury. If they fail to respond or you’re being given the runaround, we step in to demand proper care.
If your injury prevents you from working, you may qualify for temporary disability payments. Our legal team ensures these benefits are calculated correctly — and paid on time.
If your injury leaves you with lasting limitations after treatment, you may be eligible for a permanency award. This compensation reflects the long-term impact on your health, daily life, and ability to work.
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling workers’ compensation claims. We understand the law, the process, and the tactics insurance companies use to minimize benefits.
From filing your claim to appealing a denial or negotiating a settlement, we manage every step with precision and care. Whether you were just injured or have been struggling for months, we’re ready to help.
No two injuries — and no two workers — are the same. We tailor our legal strategy to your unique situation, ensuring your needs and concerns are always the priority.
We’ve helped countless New Jersey workers secure the medical treatment and compensation they deserve, even when their employers or insurance companies tried to stand in the way.
We work on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
Report the injury to your employer, seek medical attention, document everything, and contact an attorney to protect your rights.
In New Jersey, employers typically choose the treating doctor — but there are exceptions. If treatment is denied or inadequate, we can help.
A denial doesn’t mean the end. We can file a formal claim petition and fight for your benefits through hearings or settlement negotiations.
You generally have two years from the date of injury or the last benefit received. Acting quickly strengthens your case.
No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for seeking benefits.
If you have lasting injuries after treatment ends, you may qualify for compensation based on the severity and impact of your condition.
While not required, having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of receiving full and fair benefits — especially in denied or complicated cases.
We strive to promote justice and uphold the laws that were created to help people. Reach out and see if we can help you too.
