Comprehensive Legal Representation for New Jersey's Working Community

The Hofmann & Schweitzer Raritan office concentrates on safeguarding worker rights across New Jersey's industrial sectors. Our legal experience spans decades of successfully handling workplace injury cases throughout the Garden State's construction sites, shipping facilities, manufacturing plants, and commercial establishments.

• Construction Site Injuries: Our representation covers workers harmed in building collapses, equipment malfunctions, electrical incidents, and site accidents. New Jersey recorded 81 workplace deaths in 2023, with construction work claiming 18 lives—nearly one-quarter of all occupational fatalities statewide.

• Maritime Claims & Harbor Worker Rights: We advocate for seamen, port employees, and waterfront personnel under federal statutes including the Jones Act and LHWCA. The Port of New York and New Jersey supports nearly 280,000 regional jobs while contributing over $5 billion annually in local tax revenues.

• Federal Railroad Claims (FELA): Our practice champions railway employees harmed during work activities under the Federal Employers Liability Act, encompassing NJ Transit personnel, Amtrak workers, and freight railroad staff across New Jersey's rail network.

• Personal Injury Law: We handle the full spectrum of accident cases, including motor vehicle collisions and premises incidents, delivering thorough legal services to injury victims across New Jersey's diverse municipalities.

East Coast Maritime Accident Advocacy

Beyond New Jersey's borders, our maritime practice serves waterfront workers from Maine to Florida. The commercial shipping, fishing, and port industries present unique hazards governed by specialized federal maritime statutes, including the Jones Act and Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.
