What is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation is considered a state-mandated insurance program designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses arising out of and in the course of their employment. In New Jersey, as in most states, workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning that injured employees are qualified for benefits regardless of who was at fault for the accident.

Workers' Compensation Benefits

Workers' compensation benefits typically include:

• Medical Benefits: Coverage for all necessary and reasonable medical treatments that are related to your work injury, including doctor visits, surgeries, medications, and medical supplies.
• Temporary Total Disability Benefits: Compensation for lost wages if you are unable to work while recovering from your injury.
• Permanent Partial Disability Benefits: Compensation for permanent impairments or disabilities that do not completely prevent you from working but affect your ability to earn wages.
• Permanent Total Disability Benefits: Compensation for individuals who are permanently unable to return to any type of work due to their injuries.
• Vocational Rehabilitation: Assistance in obtaining training for a new job if you are unable to return to your previous employment due to your injury.
