How workers' compensation works in New Jersey

Workers' compensation pays medical bills and part of lost wages when you are hurt on the job or develop a work-related illness. It is a no-fault system: you usually do not have to prove your employer was careless.

In New Jersey, claims are handled by the Division of Workers' Compensation, which has district offices across the state. A lawyer can help if your claim is denied, your treatment is cut off or you have a lasting disability.

Questions to ask a lawyer

  • Is my case worth filing a formal claim petition?
  • Do I also have a separate injury claim against someone else?
  • How is your fee approved?
