Understanding Workers’ Compensation in New Jersey

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system designed to provide medical care and financial relief for employees injured while performing job-related duties. Whether you sustained an injury from a single incident or developed a condition over time, you are likely entitled to compensation under New Jersey law.

Types of Work-Related Injuries Covered

Some of the most common injuries and conditions covered under workers’ comp include:

  • Slip and fall accidents at the job site
  • Injuries from lifting, bending, or repetitive motions
  • Exposure to hazardous chemicals or environments
  • Machinery-related injuries in industrial settings
  • Occupational illnesses, including respiratory or stress-related conditions
  • Construction and transportation accidents

Benefits Available to Injured Workers

If your injury is compensable, you may be eligible for:

  • Medical treatment at no cost to you
  • Temporary total disability (TTD) payments if you are unable to work
  • Permanent partial or total disability benefits
  • Death benefits to surviving family members in fatal cases

How ASK Law Firm Can Help

Insurance companies often delay, deny, or undervalue claims, hoping you’ll settle for less. Our attorneys don’t just file paperwork—we build powerful, evidence-backed claims to challenge insurance adjusters, force accountability, and get results. We assist with:

  • Filing your initial claim and ensuring all required documentation is submitted on time
  • Securing second medical opinions if your employer’s doctor downplays your injuries
  • Representing you in hearings before the Division of Workers’ Compensation
  • Negotiating favorable lump-sum settlements or maximizing weekly benefits
  • Appealing denied or prematurely closed claims

We offer free consultations and charge no legal fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

What to Do If You’ve Been Injured on the Job

Report the Injury Immediately

Notify your employer as soon as possible—preferably in writing. Delays in reporting can affect your eligibility for benefits.

Seek Medical Attention

In New Jersey, your employer may direct you to an authorized doctor. Always follow medical instructions and keep records of your visits and treatment.

Consult an Attorney Before Accepting a Settlement

Never assume that your employer or insurer is offering everything you are entitled to. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can evaluate the true value of your claim and advocate for your rights.

FAQ

How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in New Jersey?

You generally have two years from the date of injury or the last authorized treatment to file a formal claim petition. Acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

Can I see my own doctor for treatment?

Only if it’s an emergency. Otherwise, your employer or their insurer may require treatment through a doctor in their approved network. If you’re unhappy with your care, we can help you seek alternatives.

What if my claim is denied?

You have the right to appeal. Our attorneys can file a formal claim petition, present evidence, and represent you at a hearing before a workers’ compensation judge.

Can I be fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for exercising your legal right to file a workers’ comp claim. If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated or harassed, we can help you take legal action.

How do I know if I need a lawyer?

If your injuries are serious, your benefits are delayed, or your employer is disputing your claim, legal representation can make a significant difference. We handle your case so you can focus on healing.

What should I look for in a workers’ compensation attorney?

Look for experience, client reviews, and a track record of handling workers’ compensation claims in New Jersey. ASK Law Firm brings strategic insight and dedication to every case we handle.

How much will hiring your firm cost me?

You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is contingent upon winning your case. If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
