New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law

The New Jersey Workers’ Compensation law is complex and can be a trap for the unwary.   I guide my clients through the legal process every step of the way.   My clients are informed and educated about the system, how long their case may take and the potential risks and benefits involved at every stage of their workers' comp litigation.  I am dedicated to the aggressive pursuit of the full range of benefits allowed including medical treatment, lost wages and a permanency award.   

A New Jersey Lawyer Who Takes Time to Listen

Your case is unique and important.  I customize the advice I give to each client based upon that person’s unique circumstances.  I also bring to the table for each client all my knowledge, skill and ability.  Understanding your particular needs is a very important part of how I deliver quality legal representation.  Personalized service and attention takes time but the resulting benefits are worth the effort both in client satisfaction and case results.   

New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Resource Center

I have compiled worker's compensation resources for New Jersey from the internet as a source of general information to help you better understand the complex system of laws governing the resolution of a work injury case. To compliment those resources, I also post weekly blogs -- or New Jersey Work Injury Insights -- on timely workers compensation issues and law.

I also provide general information on three primary benefits available under the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law, specifically:

Wage Benefits - Temporary compensation;

Medical Benefits;

Permanency Benefits.

NEW JERSEY WORK ACCIDENT LAWYERS CONSIDER MEDICAL BENEFITS PROVISION OF THE NEW JERSEY WORKERS COMPENSATION ACT TO PROVIDE NECESSARY AND REASONABLE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR INJURED EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THE ACT.

According to N.J.S.A. 34:15-15: “an employer shall furnish such medical, surgical and other treatment and hospital service as shall be necessary to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ where such restoration is possible.”   As such, New Jersey work injury employees who cannot medically have the reduced function of the member or organ restored are entitled to permanency benefits. 

According to the New Jersey statute, if the employer refuses or neglects to provide medical treatment, the work injury employee may secure such treatment and the employer will become liable for the payment, provided that the employee requested the employer to furnish the treatment and the employer refused or neglected to do so, or, unless notification is impossible due to the nature of the injury or the circumstances where so peculiar as to justify.  

Case law interpreting the statute has held that as long as there is competent medical evidence and the treatment is reasonably necessary to cure or relieve the effects of the injury, there may be the necessity for continuing medical treatment if the function of the member or organ is thereby increased.
