Understanding the No-Fault Workers' Comp System in New Jersey
Some critical early points to make about workers' compensation are that your employer is required to cover you. Additionally, it is a no-fault system, which means that if you are injured in the course of your job or suffer an illness related to your work, you are almost certainly covered. Fault, whether your own or your employer's, does not enter the picture.
While employees give up the right to file related lawsuits, a streamlined compensation process is in place to cover their medical bills and support their recovery. Employers are required to pay for coverage, but they needn't fear costly and time-consuming lawsuits.
Recognize the Insurance Provider's Position
The insurance provider handling your claim is a for-profit enterprise and, as a result, will do what it can to limit your compensation. Employers are also motivated to pay out less rather than more. In other words, you will need to put effort into obtaining the full compensation to which you are entitled, and a knowledgeable workers' compensation lawyer can help you with that.
Steps to Take After a Work Injury or Occupational Illness
Bringing a workers' compensation claim that fairly addresses your complete losses involves legal challenges that make each of the following steps necessary:
- Seek immediate medical care after being injured on the job or as soon as you recognize that you have suffered an occupational illness.
- Let your employer know about your work-related condition. Notifying them in writing and sticking to the basic facts is advised.
- Retain the focused legal representation of a practiced workers' compensation attorney early on and take their advice seriously.
- Carefully follow your medical provider's instructions.
- Don't provide the involved insurance company with a statement without your workers' comp lawyer's guidance
- Do not post on social media while your claim is pending
By providing only the information the insurance company needs, you limit the risk of weakening your claim. The bottom line is that they are invested in keeping your settlement low, and if they can do so by twisting the meaning of your words, they will.
