Can I Sue My Employer for a Work-Related Injury?
In most cases, no. New Jersey law makes workers’ compensation your exclusive remedy against your employer. However, if your injury was caused by a third party, like a subcontractor, delivery driver, or defective equipment manufacturer, you may have a separate personal injury claim. Our legal team can pursue both types of claims where appropriate.
Burlington County Workers' Compensation FAQs
What is the 26-week rule in NJ workers' comp cases?
If you've been receiving temporary disability payments for 26 weeks, your case may be reviewed to determine whether you've reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). This means your condition is stable and unlikely to improve further. Once you're at MMI, your benefits may shift from temporary to permanent disability, depending on the severity of your injuries.
What should I avoid saying to a workers' comp adjuster?
Avoid admitting fault, speculating about your injuries, or downplaying your condition. Keep the conversation minimal and refer them to your attorney. Insurers can use your statements to justify denying or reducing your claim.
Is it worth suing for a work injury?
You typically cannot sue your employer, but if a third party is responsible, filing a personal injury claim may provide additional financial compensation beyond workers’ comp. Our law firm investigates every case for third-party liability.
How can I maximize my workers' compensation settlement?
Follow all prescribed medical care
Keep detailed records
Report your injury promptly
Hire an experienced workers' compensation attorney to ensure all benefits are pursued and documented properly
How much can I recover for a work injury?
That depends on your wage history, the type and extent of your injury, and whether you can return to work. Benefits may include full coverage of medical treatment, partial wage replacement, and compensation for permanent disability.
What if my Burlington County employer doesn’t have workers' comp insurance?
The Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF) may cover your benefits. These cases are more complicated and require legal help. We can help you file a claim against the fund and pursue any additional legal remedies.
