Making the decision to work with a lawyer could be easier said than done, especially if you fear retaliation or backlash from your employer. The truth of the matter is that the sooner you contact a Newark worker’s compensation attorney, the better the outcome of your case may be. An attorney can discuss the nature of your claim during a free and confidential consultation. You risk absolutely nothing by calling. If you feel right about having a lawyer on your side, you may be a candidate for pro-bono work which means you are not required to pay anything upfront. Rest assured, if at any time, you believe your career or life is at risk for harm because of an unhappy employer, a lawyer may protect you and your rights.
