Elements of a NJ Workers’ Comp Claim

In order to be eligible for workers’ comp benefits in NJ, a worker must be an employee who has suffered an injury or contracted an illness in the course of their employment.

When a Personal injury Lawsuit is Needed Instead

The workers’ compensation scheme in New Jersey is no-fault, meaning, you do not need to prove that your employer was at fault for your workplace injury or illness in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits. While this makes getting compensated much quicker than if you had to file a lawsuit, you will not be compensated for emotional injuries such as pain and suffering or emotional distress.

If, however, your employer’s or a co-workers negligence or actions caused your injury, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit, in which case lost wages, medical expenses, and emotional claims may be compensable.

When we meet with you during your free consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine whether you need to file a workers’ compensation claim or you need a personal injury lawyer. In either case, we will help you get the compensation you deserve.

How Social Security Disability Can Also Help Injured Workers

If you are no longer able to work due to your workplace injury or illness, you may be entitled to social security disability benefits in addition to workers’ compensation benefits. We will help you claim and obtain all of the government benefits you deserve.
