Ridgewood Workmans Comp Lawyer
The New Jersey Workers' Compensation Benefits You Deserve
Under New Jersey state law, most workers injured during the performance of their job or while reporting to their job site are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits through their employer's plan. The system is designed to ensure injured workers receive the money they need for medical costs and lost earnings while out of work. Accepting workers' comp benefits also means that you typically forfeit all further right to sue your employer for additional damages except in cases of the most grievous negligence.
Filing a successful workers' comp claim is often frustrating and confusing. Your employer will typically put up resistance and the insurance carrier will find every reason to deny your claim or reduce your benefits. In addition, you may find yourself under pressure to accept an early lump sum settlement or return to work before you are fully recovered from your injuries.
