The Experienced New Jersey Landscape Worker Work Injury Lawyers at Bramnick, Rodriguez, Grabas, Arnold & Mangan, LLC Can Help You Pursue Your Legal Options Following a Work Injury
When you’ve suffered injury while working as a landscaper, you almost certainly need financial compensation to help pay for your medical treatment and to help cover your living expenses if you miss time from work. Fortunately, the law offers options for injured workers to recover compensation after a work injury. These options may include:
Workers’ compensation benefits: When you are employed by a landscaping company, you may be entitled to file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer for a landscaping work injury. Workers’ comp is considered a “no fault” system, meaning that you do not need to show that your employer did anything wrong to cause your work injury. Workers’ compensation can provide benefits such as covering the costs of your medical treatment and rehabilitation, along with partial wage replacements if you have to miss time from work during your recovery, and disability awards if you are left with permanent disabilities.
Personal injury claim: While an injured worker typically cannot file a personal injury lawsuit against their employer for a work injury, when a work injury results from a third party’s negligence or other legal fault, an injured landscape worker may be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim against that third party. Unlike workers’ compensation benefits, which you are entitled to by fact of suffering an injury in the course and scope of your job, a personal injury claim requires you to prove the negligence or other legal fault of another party for your injury. For example, you may have suffered a trip and fall accident on a customer’s property. Or you may have been injured by landscaping equipment that was defectively designed or manufactured. Personal injury claims can allow you to recover additional compensation unavailable from workers’ comp, such as financial payments for pain and suffering or lost quality of life.
Our New Jersey landscape worker work injury lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of pursuing your available legal options to ensure you receive maximum compensation and benefits for your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions about Work Injuries for Landscape Workers
FAQ: Can I still recover workers’ compensation benefits if I only work part-time or seasonally for a landscaping company?
Yes. In New Jersey, workers’ compensation benefits are available to any person who performs work for wages or compensation. Even part-time or seasonal workers are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
FAQ: Can I file both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit?
While New Jersey workers’ compensation laws generally do not permit you to bring a personal injury lawsuit against your employer for a work injury, when your injury may have been caused by a third party’s actions or omissions, you may be entitled to bring a personal injury claim against that third party, in addition to seeking traditional workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. However, if you successfully recover compensation in a personal injury claim, your employer might be entitled to reimbursement of the workers’ comp benefits it has paid to you.
