When you are hurt at work, an employer or its workers’ compensation insurance company is required to pay for all necessary and reasonable medical treatment related to your injury. If you are out of work for a period of more than seven days, you will be eligible for temporary disability benefits. Compensation for lost wages is paid at a rate of 70 percent of your average weekly pay. These benefits are provided during the period when you are unable to work and under active medical care.
If you believe that your claim was unfairly denied or reduced, our workers’ compensation lawyers can help you file a claim with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation.
