Maximizing Your Right to Worker's Compensation Benefits
If you are injured on the job or suffer a disability or illness due to a work-related exposure, you may have the right to medical benefits, temporary disability benefits and a permanent disability award. It is important to have an experienced Worker′s Compensation lawyer who is willing to take on the insurance carriers to ensure that you obtain the benefits to which you are entitled.
Kevin Kovacs has handled workers' compensation claims for over 25 years in Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris and Hunterdon Counties. With his experience and familiarity with a wide range of work related injuries, he is able to seek the highest benefits and awards for his clients. And if the insurance carriers will not be fair and reasonable, he is prepared to take your case to trial.
For example, when the insurance company would not even make an offer to settle a claim by a woman who had undergone numerous surgical procedures, Mr. Kovacs tried the case to prove that her injuries were caused by the job. He was successful in obtaining a judgment in his client′s favor for 100 percent permanent disability and the award was upheld on appeal. Also, when an insurance carrier refused to provide payment for needed back surgery, Mr. Kovacs was successful in getting the Worker′s Compensation Court to award the medical benefits and temporary disability benefits while the employee remained unable to work.
