Your First Moves After a Work Injury
Getting injured at work is stressful, painful, and often confusing. Whether you slipped at a construction site or developed carpal tunnel over time, here are the first steps you should take:
Report the injury to your supervisor immediately, even if it seems minor.
Get medical care from a provider authorized by your employer or their insurance.
Document everything — photos, witness names, medical visits, and all correspondence.
Contact a lawyer to get assistance before filing your claim to avoid costly mistakes.
These actions protect your right to file a claim and help ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
How Workers’ Comp Actually Works in New Jersey
- Workers’ comp is a no-fault system, you don’t have to prove your employer caused the injury.
- Covers a wide range of injuries, including sudden accidents and long-term conditions like repetitive strain.
- The process can be complex, incomplete paperwork or missed deadlines may delay your claim.
- You typically have two years to file from the injury date or your last benefit payment.
- For long-developing injuries, the clock may start when symptoms first appear.
What You’re Entitled to After a Workplace Injury
If your claim is approved, you may be entitled to:
Lost Wages
If your injury keeps you out of work for more than seven days, you may qualify for temporary total disability payments. These benefits typically cover 70% of your average weekly wage, up to a state-set maximum.
Medical Expenses
All necessary and reasonable treatment, from hospital visits to prescriptions and rehabilitation, should be covered by your employer’s workers’ comp insurance.
Permanent Disability Benefits
If your injury causes long-term impairment, you may receive partial or total permanent disability benefits. Partial benefits depend on the body part affected and how severely it’s impaired. Total disability benefits are for those unable to return to any form of work.
Temporary Disability Benefits:
These apply while you're recovering and unable to work. They end when you reach maximum medical improvement or return to your job.
Ongoing Care & Rehab
You may qualify for long-term rehabilitation services, assistive devices, and therapy necessary for your recovery.
Death Benefits
Dependents of a worker who died due to a job-related injury or illness may receive weekly benefits and up to $3,500 in funeral expenses.

More Than Just Slip and Fall Cases
Get Clarity: Your Workers’ Comp Questions, Answered
What if my claim is only partially paid?
You have the right to dispute underpaid claims through a formal hearing with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation.
What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ comp insurance?
You may still qualify for benefits through the Uninsured Employers Fund. A lawyer can help you file a claim correctly.
Can I receive both workers’ comp and disability?
Yes, but the benefits may affect one another. It’s important to coordinate properly to avoid overpayment issues or denials.
Is there a time limit to file?
Yes. You generally have two years from the date of injury or the last compensation payment, whichever is later.
Does workers’ comp cover stress or anxiety?
It can, especially when psychological injuries result from specific work conditions or traumatic events on the job.
Can I sue someone else for my injury?
Yes. If a third party was responsible — like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer — you may have the right to file a separate personal injury claim.
