New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
4365 Route I South
Princeton, New Jersey
New Jersey has a set of governmental protections known as the Rules of the New Jersey Division of Worker's Compensation that will provide for any employee injured while on the job. These provisions are covered by the employer who must legally provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage to all employees. When someone is injured on the job in New Jersey they are covered under the state’s comprehensive Worker's Compensation laws. Payment of disability coverage for loss of work, medical expenses and other family related costs should be covered completely.Also, injured workers may be entitled to a one time lump sum monetary payment for their injury.
Unfortunately in many cases a company’s insurance provider will strenuously investigate the incident and refuse to provide timely workers compensation coverage, if at all. Because New Jersey has laws which limit the time in which one may file for workers compensation coverage the stalling of paperwork by an insurance company can be detrimental to anyone waiting for their legally owed funds. Other cases involve insurance providers who refuse to pay workers compensation disability benefits or medical costs because they suggest that the claim was falsely filed in the first place.
