Practice Areas Description
Our practice areas include:- Workers Compensation
At the Law Offices of Robert Olkowitz, P.C., our skilled workers compensation attorneys help victims of workplace accidents get the compensation they need to rebuild their lives financially, physically, and emotionally. We take on third parties and insurance companies to attain just compensation for our clients. We have helped clients with the following workers compensation matters:
• Workplace Accidents and Injuries
We have experience helping clients with workplace accidents that include ladder accidents, unsafe work area accidents, and, repetitive stress injuries (RSI) and occupational diseases.
• Uninsured Employers
Most employers carry workers compensation insurance policies to protect them from expenses in the event that workers are injured or sustain occupational illnesses. If you find that your employer does not have workers compensation insurance, our experienced lawyers can assist you with two courses of action:
. To sue your employer;
. Or file a claim through the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF). Your rights are protected under the law and we will submit evidence and file your claim.
• Appeals
The workers compensation process can often result in a denied claim or reduced benefits. You have only 30 days after the decision to file an appeal. Our experienced workers comp lawyers provide the effective representation you need at all board hearings and in the New Jersey Court of Appeals for unfavorable decisions on all types of workers compensation claims. We fight to win you the best possible results.
- Personal Injury
Our firm is dedicated to helping clients who are injured due to the reckless, negligent, or unsafe actions by a doctor, driver, property owner, or manufacturer. With years of experience behind us, our firm is ready to take on the insurance companies and fully litigate your interests. Sometimes we must fight your own insurance company if it refuses to pay medical bills related to your accident and injury. We can assist you in many personal injury matters, including:
• Wrongful Death
When a loved family member dies because of a person's wrongful act or negligence, you may be entitled to substantial compensation from those at fault. We are here to assist families through this most difficult time following the loss of a loved one as a result of the negligence or fault of others.
• Slip and Fall Accidents
When an injury occurs in a store or on another's personal property, blame is pointed in all directions. The law states that property owners must keep their premises safe and patrons have a duty to watch where they are going. In fact, the injured party can be held to varying degrees of responsibility for an injury. When representing the victim, we build strong cases and try to prove the following:
. The property owner created the dangerous condition that led to the accident;
. The property owner knew about the dangerous condition and did not eliminate it;
. The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition and had it removed or repaired.
We can help determine if you have a case.
• Traumatic Brain Injury
If you or a family member are a victim of a brain injury caused by an accident or malicious act of any kind, you need attorneys who have knowledge in understanding this complex injury. We can assist you in gaining compensation for not working, hospital and doctor bills, medication, therapy costs, and for your lost quality of life.
• Car Accidents
Crashes can involve head-on collisions, side collisions, rear-end collisions, rollovers. It must be determined who is at fault and how much in damages is to be paid to the victim. We can advise you on the best steps to take after an automobile accident regarding your own personal injury, passenger injuries, other bodily injury claims, and any property damage done to your car.
• Truck Accidents
Causes of truck crashes can involve tired drivers, uncontrollable load weight, inadequate maintenance, traffic hazards, and weather. Proving liability in trucking accidents is more complex than in car crashes. We can assist if you have been injured in a trucking accident or a loved one has been killed.
• Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are at special risk for being injured on the road—they are four times more likely to be injured in an accident than people driving other vehicles. Plus, motorcyclists are subjected to road rage from vehicle drivers. If you have been injured, we can assist you.
• Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can be caused by rider error, motorist error, product defects, and roadway defects. Most of the more serious bicycling injuries are caused by negligent motorists. If a bicycle accident is caused by a roadway defect, the lawsuit would be against the city, county, or state government who maintains the roadway. We can assist you with any of these types of claims.
• Pedestrian Accidents
These injuries and accidents can be devastating, and pedestrians are often unable to take precautions against being hit. We represent the rights of pedestrians who have been injured by careless drivers. We can help if you or a family member has been hit by a car or injured in some other way as a pedestrian.
• Medical Malpractice
When any medical professional fails to provide adequate treatment to patients, injury can result. If you or a loved one has suffered harm from a medical error or mistake, we can help you recover financial compensation for you or your family member's injury.
• Nursing Home Negligence
Elderly or dependent adults in a nursing home depend on the staff for care, which may not be adequate. Abuse is hard to detect since residents often have trouble communicating. Some signs of abuse include—
. Bed sores;
. Lack of hygiene;
. Infection;
. Overmedication;
. Missing or broken personal items;
. Emotional withdrawal.
We can help if you suspect a loved one has been neglected or abused in a nursing home.
• Defamation
The act of communicating a false statement about you through either a written or spoken word with the intent of damaging your reputation is called defamation. If you have been defamed, there are steps you can take to demand a retraction or ensure no further publication.
• Dog Bites
These injuries can leave emotional and physical scars. Dog owners have responsibilities to ensure that their pets do not cause harm to others. A dog bite victim can be entitled to compensation from the owner or other party whose negligence caused the attack.
• Products Liability
If you have been injured by a product because it was defective in design or manufacture, it was not fit for its intended use, or it had improper safety devices or warnings, you may have a claim against the manufacturer and other parties along the distribution chain. We can help determine who is at fault and how best to pursue your claim.
- Social Security Disability
If you or a loved one suffer from an injury or disease that prevents you from returning to work, our attorneys can help you obtain government assistance. We understand the laws and legal processes needed to provide the help you need. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help you with the following types of claims:
. Disability claims;
. Retirement claims;
. Disabled child claims;
. Widows disability claims;
. Proof of age claims;
. Overpayments;
. Administrative hearings;
. Federal court appeals;
. Administrative appeals;
. Appeals;
. Private disability insurance policies;
. Employer provided disability insurance policies.
We also handle appeals for people who are denied Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI). These benefits are paid to people who have not paid enough money into Social Security to be entitled to disability benefits, but can receive payments because they are disabled and are in financial need. We can win these cases for you.
- Municipal Court
Our firm has successfully handled all types of municipal court matters for first time offenders and multiple offense clients. One of the most frequent issues we handle is DUI charges. We can help if you have been caught driving under the influence (DUI). This is a serious offense often resulting in a suspension or loss of your driver's license, fines, and possible jail time. Our attorneys strongly fight to keep a DUI charge off your driving record, keep you out of prison, and minimize fines.
We also handle other types of traffic charges that include—
. Speeding tickets;
. Reckless driving;
. Failure to stop at a stop sign or light;
. Driving with a suspended license.
