• New Jersey Workers Compensation Attorney Manfred Ricciardelli
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ Thanks for visiting the website of Manfred Ricciardelli, an experienced workers' compensation lawyer in New Jersey.  You are probably here because you or a loved has been injured on the job and are looking for more information.  
  
  This website is designed to educate you and your family about your rights.  The truth is that fighting an insurance company or large employer requires a deep knowledge of the law and many injured victims never receive the compensation they are due because of it.  Manfred Ricciardelli wants to change that.  You'll find this website loaded with good information and videos that will help you determine the next step.  We recommend that you at least speak with a lawyer to understand whether or not you have a case, and if so, how to proceed.  As a general rule, don't speak to the insurance company before speaking with a lawyer and make sure you are receiving medical care if your injury warrants it.  Your personal health and well-being should come first.
  
  If you find that you have questions and would like to speak with Manfred Ricciardelli personally, just call us at 877-360-0183. http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/practice_areas/new-jersey-work-injury-lawyer-sussex-county-workers-comp-attorney.cfm
  
  
  
• Can My Workers Compensation Case Be Re-opened in New Jersey?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ There are a few ways that a case can resolve under New Jersey workers' compensation law.  This first way is commonly called "Section 20."  That refers to a clause in the New Jersey workers' compensation statute and means that the case is closed forever and can never be re-opened for any reason.  However, if a case resolves as an order approving settlement or a judgement, meaning you went to court and the judge ruled in your favor, the case can be re-opened.  You can file for the case to re-examined within 2 years of your last payment if need more medical care or have an increased material disability.  
  
  This is a very important right that every injured worker needs to know about.  For example, if you hurt your back on the job and settle your case but the condition deteriorates over time, you may need more time away from work and money for medical bills.  You have the right to receive both but will need a good attorney to make sure your rights are protected.

• Permanent Disability for Injured Workers in New Jersey
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com Unfortunately, some workers in the state of New Jersey are injured so badly that they are never able to return to work in any capacity.  Under those circumstances, your attorney should seek total disability benefits.  This means that the injured worker will receive medical for the rest of their life and will receive medical care for the injured body part for the rest of their lives as well.  
  
  Sometimes, the work injury is the sole cause of your disability.  Under these circumstances, the cases are fairly straightforward.  However, sometimes the injury sustained on the job in and of itself is not enough to keep you out of work forever but the worker has a previous disability or illness.  This combination can result in a permanent disability.  In the state of New Jersey, there is a specific fund called The Second Injury Fund that can help pay for your disability.

• How to Return to Work When You Are On Temporary Disability
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ You are entitled to temporary disability benefits as long as you are receiving medical care, your doctor believes you are unable to return to work, or your employer is unable to provide a position with duty restrictions.  For example, your doctor may deem that you are ready to return to work but you are limited to lifting 30 lbs.  If your employer has a position that will allow you to remain within your restrictions, you are obligated to go back to work.  However, if they offer you a position that your doctor believes you can do and you refuse, you will stop receiving temporary disability payments.  
  
  Unfortunately, employers are not always true to their promises.  Once back on the job, co-workers and superiors may disregard your restrictions and ask you to perform duties that you shouldn't.  If that happens, you must respectfully decline, explain your restrictions, and if it continues, contact your attorney.

• What if my New Jersey Workers Compensation Case is Denied?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ If you believe you have been improperly denied workers' compensation benefits, you absolutely should not give up.  Unfortunately, sometimes insurance companies deny claims as a matter of course, knowing that a percentage won't appeal.  Should your case be wrongfully denied, you should pick up the phone and call a New Jersey workers compensation attorney right away.  Since most workers compensations lawyers offer free consultations, schedule one and bring with you all of the documents you have that pertain to your case in any way.  This includes documents that you have sent and received, correspondence with the insurance company and your employer and copies of any medical records.  
  
  A lawyer can use this information to see if your case was wrongfully denied and help you plan an appeal.  It is important that you act quickly so please pick up the phone and call Manfred Ricciardelli at 877-360-0183 to get straight answers about your rights and a free consultation.  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/practice_areas/new-jersey-work-injury-lawyer-sussex-county-workers-comp-attorney.cfm
  
• Can Injured Workers Receive Compensation in New Jersey Even if They are at Fault?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ In the state of New Jersey, injured workers can receive benefits even if they are completely at fault for the injury.  If you are driving your car, run through a stop sign, and get in a car accident, you normally would not have a case because you should not have run through the stop sign.  However, if you did the same while on the job, you are entitled to file a case for workers compensation.
  
  While this doesn't ensure any benefits, it is a right that not many workers understand they have.  When fighting insurance companies and big employers, education is your best defense.  If you have any questions or hesitations whatsoever, it is best to contact an experienced attorney like Manfred Ricciardelli.  Please call 877-360-0183 to get straight answers about your rights and a free consultation.  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/practice_areas/new-jersey-work-injury-lawyer-sussex-county-workers-comp-attorney.cfm

• Do I Have a Workers’ Compensation Case in New Jersey?

• New Jersey Workers' Compensation Law Recognizes Two Types of Injury
  

  It is important to understand that there are two types of work injuries recognized in New Jersey workers’ compensation law. The first, specific accident, is when an injury is sustained at a particular moment- for example, if you fall down the stairs at your job and break your leg as a result- that injury can be recorded at a specific time, place and date. 

   

  The second, an occupational exposure claim, is the result of repetitive motion or exposure over a long period of time, not one that occurs on a specific date – such as factory workers exposed to chemicals or fumes on the job that are diagnosed with lung disease as a result.

   

  If you, or a loved one has sustained an injury in a New Jersey workplace, whether it be a specific accident or a result of repetitive occupational exposure, experienced workers’ compensation trial attorney Manfred Ricciardelli is here to help you. Call us today at 877-360-0183.

• What Are Options for Medical Care After Sustaining a Workplace Injury in New Jersey?
  

  If you have been injured in the workplace in New Jersey, your employer is obligated to cover all medical care expenses that will improve your condition. In turn, your company also has the ability to pick which doctor you are sent to. If you don't use the doctor provided by the company, you are required to pay expenses yourself.

  However, there may come a time when you disagree with the treatment provided by this doctor, or when the doctor cuts off treatment before you are better.

  In cases such as these, New Jersey workers’ compensation attorney Manfred Ricciardelli makes a request of the insurance company to continue to provide you with the care and benefits you need, or, to send you to a different doctor.

  If the insurance company disagrees, experienced trial attorney Manfred Ricciardelli will send you to a doctor who can determine if continued care is necessary. If you have received inadequate care, trial attorney Manfred Ricciardelli will file a motion to the court on your behalf to get the benefits and the care that you deserve.

  To get help with your New Jersey workplace injury, call workers’ compensation attorney Manfred Ricciardelli at 877-360-0183.

Social Security:

• Who Qualifies for Social Security Disability in New Jersey?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com The Federal Government has set up a safety net for people who are seriously injured.  This is known as social security disability.  If you believe that you are unable to work, either as a result of an injury on the job or a combination of an injury and a pre-existing condition, you may qualify for social security disability payments.  As a general rule, you need to have worked 5 of the last 10 years, but that is not set in stone.  
  
  If you qualify for social security disability, you will receive money for your injuries and medical care.  It is best to speak with an experienced attorney for legal advice, but you should maintain records of medical documents, as well as correspondence with your employer and the insurance company.  
  
  If you or a loved one has been injured at work in New Jersey and believe you might be eligible for social security disability, please call New Jersey workers' compensation attorney Manfred Ricciardelli at 877-360-0183 to get straight answers about your rights and a free consultation.  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/practice_areas/social-security-disability-sussex-county-new-jersey-attorney.cfm

General:

• How Do Workers Compensation Lawyers Get Paid in New Jersey?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com/ In 20 years of practicing law, New Jersey car accident and workers compensation lawyer Manfred Ricciardelli has never taken a dime from an injured worker for the handling of a case.  He is paid a percentage of the settlement, only when the case is settled.  If the injured worker or victim doesn't receive any compensation, neither does the lawyer.  
  
  New Jersey workers compensation law is unique in that it does not require an attorney retainer agreement in place before the proceedings begin.  The attorney fee is set by statute in these cases, meaning the judge can award a fee of up to 20% to the attorney.  Generally, the entire 20% does not come from the injured workers settlement.  Typically, the insurance company pays 60% of the attorney fee and victim only pays 40%.  In a case where the victim is rewarded $10,000, they will only have to pay 8%, or $800, to the attorney and the insurance company will cover the other $1200.

• Does Every NJ Car Accident Victim Need a Lawyer?
  http://www.mfrlawoffice.com The simple answer is that no, not every single New Jersey car accident will require a trial, lawyers, or a settlement.  However, if you have been injured in a car accident and believe the other driver is at fault, are unable to work, need medical care or simply have questions about how to deal with the insurance company, you need to speak with an experienced New Jersey accident attorney.  
  
  Morristown personal injury lawyer Manfred Ricciardelli has years of experience handling auto accident cases throughout New Jersey.  As he describes, there are barriers built into the system that make it very difficult for the average person to fairly represent themselves against an insurance company.  They will have lawyers, claims adjusters, and other experts who are working against you.  You need to understand your rights before speaking with the insurance company or signing anything.
