Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a workers compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey?
Workers compensation in New Jersey is a no-fault system that provides benefits regardless of who caused the accident, but it limits what you can collect. A personal injury lawsuit can potentially recover more damages but requires proving someone else's negligence. Druckman & Hernandez handles both types of cases and can explain which route applies to your situation.
How long do I have to file a workers compensation claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, injured workers generally have two years from the date of the accident or the date of the last compensation payment to file a formal workers compensation claim. It is important to report the injury to your employer promptly and consult an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
Does Druckman & Hernandez handle car accident cases in addition to workplace injuries?
Yes, personal injury law is one of the firm's listed practice areas, which includes motor vehicle accident claims. If you were injured in a car accident in or around Elizabeth, the firm can review your case.
