Slip & Fall Injuries
Fall Accidents at Work
Fall injuries on the job are extremely common. One does not need to be employed in a physically demanding job to suffer a slip and fall. An office worker carrying files down a flight of stairs can accidentally trip; or the water cooler may spring a leak, causing a fall hazard. Regardless of the nature of your job, if you are hurt in a fall accident a New Jersey work injury lawyer may be able to help.
Common Causes of Fall Accidents
The work area to which an employee is assigned may contain a fall hazard, such as a hole worn through the carpet or a poorly lit stairway. Debris may be strewn in the path of foot traffic, or the flooring may be cracked or potholed. Among other causes of fall accidents for which a New Jersey work injury lawyer may work with clients are:
- Waxed floors that are slippery
- Floors wet from cleaning for which caution signs have not been set in place
- Debris from remodeling
- Dirty work areas
- Stairways
- Boxes left on the floor
- Power cords which lie across a walkway
- Uneven floors
When an Accident Occurs
In order to gain workers’ compensation for a fall injury you do not need to prove negligence. However, you must not have caused the accident due to being intoxicated, failing to follow required safety procedures, or in some other way behaving in a way that made an accident likely, such as engaging in horseplay.
Workers who are injured in fall accidents may not be able perform their job functions while they recuperate. This is where a New Jersey work injury lawyer can be useful. It is possible to gain compensation for medical costs, loss of wages, physical therapy, and pain and suffering. Among the injuries common to fall accidents are those to the back; broken hips, arms, or legs; whiplash; sprains; concussions; and head and brain trauma.

I was referred to Dan for a serious DUI which involved multiple tickets no injuries no accidents. Dan assured me that might case had some flaws he did not make any promises made me feel comfortable and put my worries at ease. Needless to say mycase was dismissed due to complications Dan brought forward in the court he fought hard for me and my family and my freedom at a very reasonable price I would consider this law firm one of the best for DUI cases in New Jersey I've sent many of my friends with similar cases to him not with all the success I had but very good results

I had a work related incident on 11/2017. I immediately google reviewed a workers comp attorney. Beninato & Matrafajlo Law firm revealed extremely positive reviews. Without a hesitation I drove to their Elizabeth location seeking help. Attorney Andrew was very polite, courteous and resourceful with aiding my problems. Andrew assistant was just as helpful. They kept me updated throughout the entire process via phone or email. The doctors they administered to me were pleasant as well. Even though the process took nearly 2yrs - Andrew was alongside for entire journey. On May 29, 2019 I finally went to court for work incident. Andrew prompt me on entire court process making me feel comfy and confident before speaking in front of judge. After the ordeal Beninato & Matrafajlo Law firm followed up making sure I was completely satisfied with everything. I wouldn’t of chosen anyone else! Thank You Andrew, his assistant & entire Law firm for the marvelous experience.

Dan really went above and beyond for my case . I was wrongfully accused of reckless driving . He could of just told me to take first plea deal and been done with it . Instead he suggested I refuse . The prosecutor in turn ran us around for months refusing to budge. Dan was sted fast in his support for me and never wavered. What started as a reckless driving which is a criminal offense ended as an unsafe driving ( 0 point offense). All thanks to Dan's hard work and perseverance

Dan Matrafajlo was fantastic. From the moment I hired him he handled everything from scheduling my court date to representing me with my traffic ticket.

Few months back, my husband had injured in a car accident. It seemed to be a small injury, but in fact it was brain injury and the truck who hit our car, ran away. We were so confused that how to survive and get compensation for brain injury. At that time, from my friend's reference, I got to know about Beninato & Matrafajlo Law, The firm handled our case very carefully and passionately, took the right steps for us and helped us in getting compensation. Thanks to Beninato & Matrafajlo Law!

Dan is an excellent attorney. Unlike most attorneys Dan actually cares about your case. He went the extra mile and did countless hours of research to help me win my case. I'd give him 10 stars if I was able to.

I starting using Dan after a VERY bad experience with a previous attorney who took advantage of our family. Dan is a great lawyer and very competent. While he specializes in personal injury, he and his office staff proved themselves on multiple occasions to be more then competent in other areas of the law. He's quick to respond and always makes us feel like our case is his top priority. I have since referred him to multiple people and their experience has been a positive one as well. His rates are reasonable and he has no desire to drag things out, file extension after extension etc. and rack up my bill as our previous attorney did. We highly recommend Dan Matrafajilo Esq., as does everyone I know who have used his services before.
