Know Your Rights
Workers' compensation ("workman's comp") pays your medical bills and pays a portion of your regular wages if you are temporarily out of work. It also pays a lump sum or monthly benefits for total disability, a permanent partial disability, disfigurement or the workplace death of a loved one:
- You can collect workers' comp for any injury suffered in the normal course of your work duties — even if your own negligence led to the accident.
- We have handled claims for occupational disease — injuries that develop over time, such as lung ailments from chemical exposure or carpal tunnel syndrome or rotator cuff damage from repetitive tasks.
- In New Jersey, you must first be treated by your employer-approved doctor. But you do have the right to seek a second opinion from a doctor of your choice if you disagree with your disability rating or disagree that your injuries are healed.
- Many of our clients are construction site and restaurant workers who are paid in cash "off the books." New Jersey has a special fund to help these workers obtain disability pay, based on average wages for those jobs.
- You cannot directly sue your employer or co-workers. But you may have a personal injury lawsuit for serious injury caused by the negligence of a third party.
