What Types of Benefits Can You Receive for a Workplace Accident?

When you have been injured on the job, you are typically entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits through your employer and its workers’ compensation insurer. Workers’ comp benefits are required as a matter of law for an employee who is injured in the course and scope of their employment. New Jersey’s workers’ compensation law sets forth the benefits that an employer must pay to an injured worker, depending on the extent of their work injury. These benefits may include:

Payment for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment of the work injury, including surgeries, doctor’s appointments, prescriptions, physical therapy, and even transportation costs to and from appointments and procedures.
Temporary disability benefits, if a worker’s injury prevents them from going to work or working at the same pre-injury level. Temporary disability benefits can provide partial wage replacement for the income that an injured worker loses out on.
Permanent disability benefits, payable once temporary disability benefits run out and a worker continues to experience disability after reaching maximum medical improvement of their work injury. Partial disabilities are paid according to a schedule of payments, while total disabilities may entitle a worker to continue receiving the same benefits as they did under total temporary disability
Vocational rehabilitation, if a worker’s injury prevents them from returning to their job but they have the capability to be trained to perform other lines of work.

If a worker passes away due to a workplace accident, their family may also be entitled to payments towards funeral and burial expenses, along with survivor’s benefits equal to a portion of the worker’s average wage.

Frequently Asked Questions about Workplace Accidents in Camden County, Burlington County, and Throughout NJ

Can I sue my employer if I’ve suffered a work injury?

Typically, an injured employee’s sole legal recourse against their employer is to file a workers’ compensation claim. In exchange for giving up the right to file a personal injury claim against their employer, an injured worker receives financial benefits that are defined and guaranteed by the workers’ compensation law, without the need to prove that an employer bears any legal responsibility for causing the worker’s injury. You might be entitled to step outside the workers’ compensation system if your employer intentionally caused your injury.

How long do I have to file a claim for a workplace accident?

Under New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system, you are expected to notify your employer of your workplace accident as soon as possible. Once your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer has reviewed your claim, they are expected to begin paying your workers’ comp benefits if your injury is work-related. However, if your employer declines to pay you benefits or does not pay you the full extent of benefits you believe you are entitled to under the workers’ compensation law, you generally have two years from the date you suffered your work injury to file a formal claim petition with the Division of Workers’ Compensation.
