Occupational Exposure, Illnesses & Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is insurance offered by employers to financially care for employees who have been injured or become ill. These occupational injuries and illnesses must have originated as a direct result of work-related activities.

Occupational diseases are compensable just like injuries are; however, it can be more difficult to prove their origin. Often, they arise from “invisible” dangers in the workplace, such as exposure to toxic substances, carcinogens, and certain illnesses or viruses. Occupational disease may also be caused by repetitive work movements, demanding labor and extreme volume, or noisy work environments. If not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, occupational illnesses can pose life-threatening risks.

    • $1,000,000 Work Injury Settlement

      Client reaggravated a preexisting back injury that prevented him from returning to work.

    • $1,000,000 Worker's Compensation Settlement

      A 33-year-old sanitation worker suffered severe and debilitating injuries when he was caught in a garbage compactor while working for the City of Linden. The garbage compactor had insufficient warning devices, so our client was unaware that the tail gate was descending. It was alleged at the time of trial that the lack of sufficient warning devices made the garbage compacter a defectively designed product under New Jersey Products Liability law, and therefore our client was entitled to compensation.

    • $1,000,000 Worker's Compensation Settlement

      A worker fell from a roof, resulting in severe back injuries and future disabilities. Through expert testimony, it was established that the defendant should have provided workers with fall protection to prevent this type of accident. Settlement was agreed to during trial.

    • $975,000 Personal Injury Settlement

      A carpenter working as an independent contractor was injured at defendant’s refinery when he was improperly exposed to dangerous fumes. Ronald Grayzel handled this occupational exposure case and ultimately settled the matter for $975,000.00.
