Attorney Talk with Sam Gaylord, Episode 13

In this solo episode of Attorney Talk, Sam Gaylord, a partner at Szaferman Lakind with 30 years of experience representing injured workers in New Jersey, explains the three areas of disability law he handles: workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, and disability pension appeals. He walks through what each one provides and why the way they interact matters when someone is out of work with an injury.

Tune in to the episode to hear about:

* The three benefits New Jersey law provides after a work injury: medical treatment, temporary disability payments, and a financial award

* How much of your weekly wages can temporary disability replace, and what limits apply in 2026?

* Why pursuing a claim with guidance from Szaferman Lakind can help protect an injured worker’s rights to additional benefits after a case is resolved

* What makes Social Security Disability take up to 18 months and a disability pension up to 8 months?

* Sam’s approach to handling Social Security Disability, disability pension, and work injury claims together to prevent gaps in financial support
