New Jersey workers’ compensation laws provide a basis for protecting employees who are injured while on the job.

Specifically, the workers’ compensation system in New Jersey allows for covered employees to receive medical treatment and payments for lost wages when they suffer a work-related injury or illness. In certain situations, however, a worker’s injury or illness may be severe enough to prevent the employee from returning to work for an extended period of time. Under these circumstances, the employee may be able to recover for expenses related to continued medical treatment of the illness, injury, chronic condition, or permanent disability suffered.
