Mark | Lavigne, LLC handles workers’ compensation matters throughout the state of New Jersey and is routinely in the Lebanon, Paterson, New Brunswick, and Elizabeth workers’ compensation courts.
In order to timely file a workers’ compensation claim, an employee must submit the petition to the Department of Labor within two years of the date of injury. If an employee misses the two-year limitation, very few exceptions allow a later filing. It is important, therefore, for an injured employee to be proactive in seeking legal assistance with any workers’ compensation claim.
Mark | Lavigne, LLC offers free consultations to injured employees. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff can advise you in the timely filing of your workers’ compensation claim. For your free consultation, visit our contact page or call 908-460-8996.
