New Jersey Workers' Compensation Loss of Use Claim

Protecting Your Rights in a Loss of Use Claim

If, as a result of an injury on the job, you have suffered a permanent loss of the use of a body part, from fingers or toes to an arm or a leg, you have a right to compensation for that loss. In New Jersey, as in other states, the award for a permanent loss of use is a scheduled award, or a fixed amount based on the specific body part that is no longer functional.

The workers’ compensation process can be challenging and confusing, with employers and their insurers using every potential strategy to deny, diminish or delay your claim. When you have suffered a permanent loss of use, you can find it even more difficult to get the benefits to which you are entitled. The office of Harold J. Gerr, Attorney at Law, can help.

At the Law Offices of Harold J. Gerr, we have concentrated our practice on personal injury claims, including work-related injury cases, since 1975. We have a comprehensive understanding of the law and procedures governing workers’ compensation claims, including requests for damages for permanent loss of use of a body part. We are not like most personal injury firms. We don’t take every case that comes in the door, and we don’t try to settle your case as quickly as possible so that we can move on to the next case. Instead, we take the time to figure out how we can win your case and get you the compensation you need and deserve. Because of our reputation for thorough preparation and positive results, many of our new cases come to us as referrals from other lawyers or from satisfied clients.

We handle all matters related to claims for loss of use resulting from an injury on the job. We will work closely with you to prepare and file your claim for compensation, and will be your voice in all hearings or proceedings, including any appeals of the denial of a claim.

When you seek a scheduled award for the loss of use of a body part, you will generally be entitled to compensation based on your average weekly wage before the accident.
