Who is eligible To Get Workers’ Compensation Benefits in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, most employees are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if they suffer a work-related injury or illness. Eligibility requires that you are classified as an employee, and your injury or illness must be job-related. Your employer must carry workers’ compensation insurance, as required by state law. You must report the injury to your employer promptly, ideally within 90 days.

Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits in New Jersey

• Medical Benefits: These cover all necessary and reasonable medical treatments related to the work injury.
• Temporary Total Disability (TTD): Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits, which are provided when a worker cannot work due to a work-related injury, are calculated at 70% of your average weekly wage.
• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): Compensation for permanent injuries (loss of body parts like arms, legs, eyes, etc) that partially limit your ability to work.
• Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Benefits for workers who cannot return to any gainful employment due to their injury. They last for 450 weeks and are calculated similarly to temporary disability benefits.
• Temporary Partial Disability: Covers wage differences if you return to work at a lower-paying job while recovering.
• Death Benefits: Compensation to dependents if a work-related injury results in death.

If the injury disabled a worker permanently, he/she may be eligible for payments for the rest of life. We will understand your situation and work to get the maximum benefit.
