Information About New Jersey Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation is a “no fault” insurance program that provides multiple benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits include:
- Medical benefits
- Temporary total disability benefits
- Permanent partial disability benefits
- Permanent total disability benefits
- It also provides death benefits to dependents of workers who died because of their employment.
An injured employee will receive benefits regardless of who was at fault. In exchange for these benefits, the worker cannot bring a civil action against the employer for pain and suffering or other damages, except in cases of intentional acts. Unfortunately, some workers’ comp insurance companies try to protect their bottom lines by limiting the amount they pay out to injured workers.

What To Do After A Work-Related Accident
You should notify your employer as soon as possible. The notice may be given to your supervisor, personnel office, or anyone in authority at your place of business. Notice does not have to be in writing. If you need medical treatment, you should make a request to your employer as soon as possible. Under the NJ workers’ compensation law, the employer and/or their insurance carrier can select the physician(s) to treat injured workers for work related injuries. If you’ve been injured on the job, you will need the help of our experienced team of Worker’s Compensation attorneys at CourtLaw.
What Your Employer Should Do After Your On-the-job Injury
Once you report your accident to your employer, the employer should notify their workers’ comp insurance carrier immediately so they can file a First Report of Injury with the state Division of Workers Compensation.
The employer’s insurance carrier will evaluate the claim and determine if it is eligible for compensation under New Jersey law. The carrier will then contact the injured worker, the employer, and the medical provider to make this assessment. If the claim is accepted, they will direct the injured worker to an authorized medical provider for treatment. If time out of work extends beyond seven days, they will also provide the injured worker temporary disability benefits during the period of rehabilitation.
Within 26 weeks after the worker returns to work or reaches maximum medical improvement, the insurance carrier is required to submit another form to the Division, called the Subsequent Report of Injury. A copy of this form is sent to the worker for review.
