Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Re: Changing Jobs Workers Comp

Generally there is no issues if you desire to change jobs, however it may effect your temp benefits if you are receiving any or are entitled to receive them to the extent you can or cannot work.

In New Jersey, any employee, (even if you are a construction worker, secretary or injured in a car accident while working), injured at work, regardless of fault, may be entitled to three benefits:

1. Free medical care;2. Pay while unable to work; and 3. A cash settlement for loss of function caused by the work-related injury. In order to protect these rights a claim petitioner must be filed for you - my office can assist in this matter.

Please contact be for a free no-obligation consultation. There are no attorney fees unless you get a recovery. The insurance companies have lawyers - you should have one to protect your rights.

Re: Changing Jobs

You would not have to pay workers comp back anything. You would also be able to still treat (if you still need treatment)but you most likely would not be able to collect your pay if you are unable to start your new job because of your injury. A claim petition should be filed on your behalf, if you are interested, please call my office. 732-286-2170.
