How Workers’ Compensation Works in Bridgewater
Employers throughout New Jersey are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance on their employees. This coverage takes effect whenever an employee is injured in the course of their work.
The balance struck by workers’ compensation is that employees can count on coverage, while employers avoid lengthy and costly personal injury lawsuits that can disrupt business. In the process, fault is not considered, which is intended to make bringing a successful claim less challenging.
Temporary Disability Benefits
If you are unable to work for at least seven days because of a work-related injury, you are entitled to temporary disability benefits. These are calculated as 70 percent of your gross weekly earnings, capped by the state. Temporary benefits continue until you’ve reached the point that you can return to work or that maximum medical improvement is assigned.
Permanent Partial and Permanent Total Disability Benefits
Permanent workers’ compensation benefits apply to those injuries that cannot be fully resolved. Permanent total disability benefits kick in if your permanent injury keeps you completely off the job, and permanent partial disability benefits apply if you can only work at a lessened capacity. The amount of permanent partial disability benefits you receive will hinge on the severity of your injury.

While workers’ compensation covers you if your job causes you to suffer an injury or illness, the process is not automatic. Workers’ compensation insurance providers are motivated by profits and will limit your settlement or deny your claim outright if they can find a way to do so.
This makes it very important to take steps like the following in support of your claim:
- Seek the immediate medical attention you need
- Let your supervisor or employer know that you were injured on the job as soon as you can
- Retain the skilled legal guidance of a seasoned workers’ compensation attorney early on
- Follow the instructions and advice of your medical provider, including attending all follow-up appointments
- Take a break from social media while your claim is pending, and leave the talking to your dedicated workers’ comp lawyer
