In many Manville cases, the dispute isn’t whether you were hurt—it’s how the injury affected your day-to-day life after the incident. For example:
- You couldn’t comfortably drive to work or sit through normal shifts.
- You missed work or reduced hours because bending, lifting, or turning your head became difficult.
- You needed follow-up care repeatedly, not just a one-time visit.
- Your household responsibilities changed (childcare, carrying groceries, home maintenance).
Insurance adjusters in New Jersey commonly push back by arguing the symptoms were temporary, mild, or unrelated to the event. Your best protection is a clear record showing how the injury impacted function—not just pain levels.
