Hoagland, Longo, Moran, Dunst & Doukas

The Workers’ Compensation Practice Group offers comprehensive legal services to, and aggressive representation of, employers (self-insured or otherwise), municipal entities, third party administrators and insurance companies in defense of Workers’ Compensation matters throughout New Jersey and the region. In addition to the defense of Workers’ Compensation claims, we provide consulting and risk management services to assist employers before claims are filed. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to the defense of these claims and work closely with our Labor and Employment Group. We collaboratively address and resolve broader employment issues that often intersect with Workers’ Compensation matters. As such, our group is fully familiar with the Family Medical Leave Act, the Law Against Discrimination and the Americans With Disabilities Act.

We are well-versed in New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law and handle both traumatic and occupational injury cases, as well as dependency claims. We handle all phases of litigation including the filing of appropriate and necessary pleadings, to discovery, pretrial, and if necessary, trials and appeals. In conjunction with that, we strive to keep costs contained by utilizing our state of the art computer system - which is also linked to the Division of Workers’ Compensation’s computer system - that enables our attorneys to electronically file pertinent documents with the Courts and view the status of matters within the court system.

Hoagland Longo is committed to keeping abreast of current developments in the law. We sponsor in-house seminars where we address issues faced by employers in the workplace. We keep our clients informed of the latest developments in the law through firm published updates as well as contributing articles to various legal and trade publications including the quarterly publication, New Jersey Defense, which is published by the New Jersey Defense Association. We lecture on pertinent Workers’ Compensation issues on behalf of the New Jersey Defense Association, the Insurance Council of New Jersey and various bar associations.

At Hoagland Longo, we believe that a commitment to diversity is the foundation to long term success. We believe that nurturing and cultivating diversity of thought, action and background enhances our ability to serve our clients, our employees and our community.

We are actively committed to advancing diversity at the Firm by striving to ensure that fairness, respect and expansion of professional opportunity for all employees remains integral to our recruiting, education, retention and promotion initiatives. The Firm does not discriminate on account of race, creed, color, national origin, nationality, ancestry, age, marital status, gender, sexual preference, disability, or obligation for service in the Armed Forces of the U.S. We are committed to the expansion of opportunities for minorities and women within the legal profession and strive to create an inclusive environment where all of our employees can develop professionally and succeed in the practice of law. The Firm is committed to increasing diversity in significant ways consistent with the overall objective of the Firm simply because it is the right thing to do.

We firmly believe that a commitment to diversity not only enriches our work environment, but also leads to a higher work quality and empowers us to bring a broad perspective to the problems facing our clients. To this end, our goal continues to be the fostering of diversity as part of the Firm's culture. However, we recognize that a commitment to diversity requires consistent attention and effort.

As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity, we have established a standing Diversity Committee, which seeks to educate, recruit and retain a diverse workforce that respects and values differences among people. The Diversity Committee is comprised of some of the Firm's leading practitioners with diverse backgrounds, including partners, associates, and administrators; men and women; and racial and ethnic minorities as well as non-minorities. These individuals share a strong commitment to increasing the Firm's diversity and using their unique experiences and backgrounds to support and further this goal.
