I have dealt with other law firms, and there is no comparison. It is an honor to know you and I must say, that I have the highest regard for your integrity. - Lance Z.
You handled my case with such expertise and I will be forever grateful. The whole experience was professional, caring, and with great integrity. I never thought one person could go up against a mammoth corporation and win. Thanks to all of you it happened – and yes – Justice Prevailed. - Peg H.
I write to specially thank the law office of Petrillo and Goldberg for a candid representation to defend my legal rights with reference to my last Motor Vehicle case. During the period, I enjoyed the professional competence of all the attorneys, and the office staff who demonstrated expertise in good office management. I am glad to be associated with your firm, hoping you will continue to represent people to exercise their legal rights in the face of the law. Thank you very much. - Stephen B.
What a thrill for me to end my career with you in the courtroom! I can’t tell you how happy and pleased I am with you as a lawyer and a person. The jury loved you, and recognized your talent, which is obvious from the verdict.
Continued good fortune to you and your family. - John M.
I especially appreciate your continued professionalism and optimism through out the course of my case. Having been in prior auto accidents before this one, I thought it may have been a difficult case to win. The fact that you both were honest about that fact gave me confidence in your firm. This is a perfect example of what perseverance can accomplish. As I sincerely believe the same results would not have been obtained with other attorneys I owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you again for the great job. - Todd R.

Work Injury / Workers' Compensation
Under the workers’ compensation law in New Jersey, an employee who has sustained an on-the-job injury must notify his or her employer or supervisor promptly. The law obligates the employer to pay for the injured employee’s authorized medical treatment, provide payment for lost time at work, and provide payment for subsequent ill effects of the injury if they are deemed to be permanent and result in lessened ability to function.
Workers' Compensation
The employer’s insurance company is required to pay for the compensation mandated by law regardless of who was at fault for the employee’s injury. The employee has two years from the date of the injury to file a worker’s compensation claim or two years from the last date of any payment of workers’ compensation benefits by the employer.
The workers’ compensation claim process is not necessarily a smooth one and can be complex, particularly for those who are not familiar with it. For example, an employer may deny that the injury was sustained at work. In other cases, an employer may deny proper medical care or refuse to furnish adequate temporary disability while an injured employee is unable to work. Furthermore, employers invariably contest the nature and amount of partial disability benefits that a permanently injured employee is entitled to.
Work Injury
There are circumstances where an employee has suffered a work-related accident that would call for a lawsuit, but against a third party, not the employer.
For example, workers who must travel to conduct business for their employer and suffer an injury while at a site not owned by the employer may have a valid premises liability claim against the property owner of the other business who did not ensure a safe environment on his or her property in addition to their workers’ compensation claim.
Another example is where an employee suffers an injury at a worksite located on property that has been leased by his or her employer. In that case, the injured worker may have a premises liability claim against the property owner in addition to their workers’ compensation claim.
Workers who suffer on-the-job injuries, especially those whose injuries result in permanent injury, need to be able to identify every liable party in order to maximize their potential recovery.
