New Jersey Workers Compensation Fee Schedules by Injury Type
New Jersey has enacted certain laws and regulations to protect employees who are injured on the job. Employers purchase workers’ compensation insurance policy (or are self-insured). As a worker, you may be entitled to receive such benefits through this policy if you suffer an on-the-job injury while performing your duties.
New Jersey worker’s compensation is considered an “exclusive remedy” system. This means that employees cannot sue their employer for negligence resulting from a workplace accident. However, in some cases, an employee may file a personal injury claim or lawsuit if the accident was caused by a non-employer. This claim against the non-employer party is called a “third-party liability lawsuit.”
Workers Compensation Benefits
As an injured employee you may be entitled to different types of workers compensation benefits. It is important to remember that negligence of your employer or your own is not a factor in determining whether you can obtain workers compensation benefits.
The types of benefits you can get through workers compensation depends on the extent of your injuries and disabilities. New Jersey law sets the amount of benefits you are entitled to.
