New Jersey Workers' Compensation Lawyers

If you were injured on the job, your life can change in an instant. Medical bills start piling up. You might be out of work for weeks-or longer. And while New Jersey's workers' compensation system is designed to help, getting full benefits isn't always straightforward. At the Law Offices of Gregg A. Williams, our experienced NJ workers' compensation lawyers step in to protect your rights, your health, and your paycheck.


With offices in East Brunswick and Woodbridge, we represent injured workers across Middlesex County and beyond-from warehouse employees in Edison to construction workers in New Brunswick and healthcare professionals in Perth Amboy.

You Work Hard-Your Benefits Should Too

New Jersey law requires most employers to carry workers' compensation insurance, which provides medical care and a portion of lost wages to employees injured on the job-regardless of who was at fault.



But just because you're entitled to these benefits doesn't mean they come easily. Whether you were hurt in a fall at a Woodbridge job site or developed repetitive strain injuries from factory work in Sayreville, our team is here to help you get what you're owed.

Why So Many Claims Get Denied

Sadly, even legitimate claims are often challenged or delayed. You may face:

  • Employer disputes about whether the injury is work-related
  • Insurance doctors refusing treatment or downplaying injuries
  • Missed deadlines or paperwork issues
  • Pressure to return to work before you're medically ready

These roadblocks are common-and preventable. Our firm helps clients appeal denials and navigate complex cases. See how we handle Denied Workers' Comp Claims → or get step-by-step guidance on filing your claim →

Negotiate lump-sum payments when possible

There's no fee unless we win your case. We handle workers' comp cases on contingency and only get paid after we've secured compensation for you.

Hurt by a Third Party? You May Have Another Claim

If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer-like a subcontractor, delivery driver, or equipment manufacturer-you might also qualify for a personal injury lawsuit on top of your workers' comp case.


We'll investigate all potential claims.
