Injuries on the Job | Your Rights to Workers’ Compensation | Third-Party Claims in Job-Related Accidents | Construction Accidents

In New Jersey, as in all other states, when you have been hurt at work, you have a right to pursue benefits through a workers’ compensation claim. 

A workers’ compensation claim, however, lets you collect benefits for any injuries sustained because of the actions of your employer or a co-worker.

When you have suffered an injury on the job, caused by someone other than your employer or a fellow employee, you have a right to file a “third party” claim for those injuries. Examples of third party claims include:

injury due to slip and fall
When you’ve been injured because of the breakdown or malfunction of a tool, machine or piece of equipment
When you’ve suffered injury in a work-related motor vehicle accident
When you’ve been injured on property owned by a third party while at work

Frequently Asked Questions

Under New Jersey's workers' compensation laws, employees have the right to medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, and permanent disability benefits if they are injured on the job. Additionally, you are entitled to receive compensation for lost wages due to your injury. Consulting a workplace injury attorney can provide a clear understanding of your rights and help you navigate the claim process effectively.
In New Jersey, workers' compensation typically covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages but does not usually include compensation for pain and suffering.

Hiring a workplace injury attorney is crucial because they have the expertise to navigate the legal complexities of workers' compensation claims.
