Construction Accidents and Workers' Compensation
If you were hurt at work, Markman & Cannan, LLC stands up for your rights. We fight for you if your claim was denied, and we make sure you are getting all the benefits you deserve. We can also determine if you have a lawsuit against a third party for your workplace injury.
Attorney Alan J. Markman brings years of experience in injury law, including hundreds of workers' compensation claims. Based in Bloomfield, New Jersey, he takes cases throughout Essex County, as well as Union and Hudson counties.
Call us today for a free consultation where we can discuss your workplace injury and the compensation you deserve.
We Handle All Workplace Injury Claims
Whether you had a specific accident or developed an injury from the type of work you do, you are entitled to medical coverage and weekly checks to replace lost wages. If you cannot work at all or a part of your body is permanently injured, you are also entitled to payouts for your disability.
We are here to help you receive workers' comp for various workplace accidents, such as:
- Broken bones and lacerations
- Head trauma and spinal cord injuries
- Herniated discs and other neck and back injuries
- Loss of fingers or limbs
- Knee and shoulder injuries
- Eye injuries or hearing damage
- Severe burns and toxic chemical exposure
- Repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel, rotator cuff)
We often get involved when a claim has been rejected or an employer orders a person back to work too soon. Alan Markman will vigorously appeal your case to the Workers' Compensation Board, and refer you to our doctor if you disagree with your disability rating (compensation is based on the degree of permanent injury).
Third-Party Claims
In most cases, you can't sue your employer for personal injury. But many workers' compensation cases have a potential third-party element. We have successfully represented construction workers injured by the negligence of another subcontractor on a job site.
If another driver hit you while you were driving on duty, or if you were injured by defective workplace machinery, you may have a suit for damages above and beyond workers' compensation. While we don't take product liability cases, we will connect you to an attorney who does.
Representing Public Sector Labor Unions
At Markman & Cannan, LLC, our attorneys represent public sector labor unions, regarding all aspects of labor relations and employment law, including interest arbitration proceedings and PERC, Civil Service Commission, and State and Federal litigation.
