Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Elmwood Park, NJ
Cellino Law is proud to serve Elmwood Park and surrounding New Jersey communities with experienced, compassionate legal representation. If you were injured at work in Elmwood Park or anywhere in Bergen County, New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system provides a path to medical benefits and wage replacement regardless of fault. But navigating that system while recovering from an injury, managing disputes with your employer’s insurer, or pursuing maximum benefits can be overwhelming. Cellino Law is here to guide you through every step and protect your rights.
Workers’ compensation is not the only option for some injured workers. When a third party, such as a negligent contractor or equipment manufacturer, contributed to your workplace injury, a separate personal injury claim may provide additional compensation not available through workers’ comp alone.

When a Third-Party Claim Is Available
Workers’ compensation benefits are limited. They do not include compensation for pain and suffering, and wage replacement is capped. When a third party, such as a property owner, general contractor, or equipment manufacturer, bears responsibility for your workplace injury, Cellino Law will pursue a separate personal injury claim that can recover those additional damages alongside your workers’ comp benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim in New Jersey?
New Jersey law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing a workers’ compensation claim.

Contact Cellino Law to discuss your full range of legal options.
