Occupational Disease

New Jersey and Pennsylvania Attorney for Occupational Disease or Illness

Mesothelioma | Cancer | Chemical Exposure

Under the workers’ compensation laws of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, you don’t have to suffer an injury in a workplace accident to be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Both states allow workers who have contracted an illness or disease to recover benefits, if the illness can be demonstrated to have been caused by the work environment.

If you are suffering from a work-related illness, the Law Offices of Neal S. Axe, LLC, can help you navigate the workers’ compensation process and get the benefits you need and deserve. To schedule a free initial consultation, contact us by e-mail or call our office at 215-784-1666 in Pennsylvania or at 856-795-8788 or 609-695-0220 in New Jersey.

Protecting the Rights of People Who Have Contracted an Occupational Illness

We handle all matters related to a workers’ compensation claim for an occupational illness. We will work with you to gather the necessary medical evidence to support your claim, and will help you prepare and file your application for benefits. We will be your voice in all hearings or proceedings throughout the workers’ compensation process, including any appeals from a denied claim.

We represent people with any type of occupational illness claim, including persons who have developed:

  • A disease caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, dust, particulate or other airborne substances
  • Any type of cancer caused by something in the work environment
  • High blood pressure, stroke or heart disease caused by inordinate levels of stress or other work conditions
