Getting injured on the job can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. In New Jersey, workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect employees, but many workers are unsure of what steps to take after an accident.
First, report your injury to your employer immediately. Delays in reporting can negatively impact your claim. Make sure the injury is documented accurately and follow all medical treatment instructions provided by the employer’s insurance carrier.
Many workers are unaware that they may be entitled to additional benefits, such as permanent partial disability compensation, even after returning to work. These benefits depend on the severity and long-term impact of your injury.
