Results-oriented New Jersey workers' comp lawyers seek the benefits you're entitled to
While workers' compensation benefits are provided by employers' insurance companies, those benefits are mandated by state law, with some exceptions that may depend on the company's size, type of business, and work done by employees. While benefits vary by jurisdiction, they most often cover:
Medical, hospital and rehabilitation expenses
A percentage of lost wages
Compensation for permanent disability
Costs of retraining
Dependents’ recovery for a worker’s death
It's important to notify your employer as soon as possible after you've sustained an on-the-job injury. Neglecting to do so could affect your ability to claim the benefits you deserve.
