Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey break down into three basic categories.
Medical Benefits
To begin, workers’ compensation covers medical costs deemed reasonable and necessary. At least initially, however, you will need to be seen by medical providers authorized by your employer or the workers’ compensation insurance provider. In other words, you will need to proceed with caution to ensure complete coverage.
Temporary Disability Benefits
If your work-related injury or illness keeps you off the job for at least seven days, you are also entitled to temporary disability benefits that cover your lost income. This benefit is calculated as 70 percent of your average gross pay, but the state sets a cap.
Permanent Disability Benefits
If your injury or illness permanently stops you from returning to work or permanently interferes with your ability to earn, you may be entitled to permanent disability benefits. Permanent disability benefits will generally be implemented only after you have reached maximum medical improvement. If your disability is partial rather than total, your benefits will be based on the severity of your impairment.
Bringing a Stronger Claim
To bring a strong workers’ compensation claim that results in fair compensation, you are well advised to take all the following advice to heart:
- Do not wait to seek medical care and carefully follow your medical team’s guidance throughout the recovery process.
- Notify your workplace – through your employer, supervisor, or boss – that you were injured on the job right away.
- Work closely with a trusted workers’ compensation attorney from the start.
