Putterman, Charles M.

Angela focuses 100% of her practice in the area of workers’ compensation and continues to represent the interests of employers, carriers and self-insureds.  Since beginning her career in this area, she has gained significant experience handling claims involving issues of employment, coverage, compensability, causation/liability and permanency.  These cases also include specific issues of total disability (SIF), lack of coverage (UEF) and subcontractor/general contractor issues (Section 79).

Notably, Angela has been able to secure favorable decisions with the Appellate Division on issues of entitlement to temporary total disability benefits addressed under Section 38, commonly referred to as the Cunningham issue. Her experience also extends to issues involving jurisdiction and liability against a subsequent carrier most often referred to as a Peterson or Bond-type issue.

Angela is also involved in her community focusing her attention on youth activities.  She has participated in career day programs at the elementary and high school levels.  Additionally, she has devoted time to community youth athletics.

Prior to commencing a career in law, Angela worked as a probation officer and domestic violence shelter legal advocate.
