Workers' CompensationWorkers’ Compensation involves a system of laws meant to protect injured workers. The attorneys at our firm understand that these laws were created to ensure that anyone who is injured at work receives appropriate medical care, lost wages relating to the on-the-job injury, compensation for the portion of their injuries found to be permanent and, if necessary, retraining and rehabilitation, so the individual may return to the workforce. Our attorneys protect their clients and families and have extensive experience defending against the premature termination of benefits, or any other employer actions such as limitation of benefits or rehabilitation time to which the employee is entitled. If you have been injured at work, there is a remedy available to you. Workers' compensation pays for injuries sustained on the job, regardless of fault. Every employer in New Jersey is required to have Workers' Compensation insurance. An injured worker receives benefits from the Workers' Compensation insurance company for his or her job. Workers' compensation benefits include medical payments, temporary disability benefits and a permanent disability award. Workers’ Compensation ClaimThe attorneys in our firm will help you file a claim:
What types of injuries are covered under Workers’ Comp?Work InjuryTo be covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act, in general, an injury must result from an "accident." An accident, in this context, is an unexpected event in the usual work routine like a "trip and fall," for example. There are exceptions to this, however. For example, for back injuries, the worker need only experience a "specific traumatic incident," such as a sudden onset of pain while performing routine lifting. Occupational ExposureA worker who suffers from an illness or disease from a toxic exposure in the workplace may be entitled to damages beyond those recoverable through workers' compensation. A worker who, over a period of time at work, develops an illness or disease because of an exposure to fumes or chemicals at work or who develops pain in the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands or legs because of repetitive use of these body parts, may have the right to file an occupational claim in workers' compensation court. If you have been injured on the job, contact Thomas Dorn, Esq., an attorney certified by the N.J. Supreme Court as a Certified Worker's Compensation attorney and certified Civil Trial Attorney.
