Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Re: Am I covered?

If you were driving in the course of your employment, like going to visit clients, then you are covered under workers compensation. You should ask your boss to contact the workers compensation carrier so you can be evaluated, and treated, by a workers compensaiton authorized doctor. This would be at no cost to you. If you are unable to work and the workers compensation doctor puts you out of work for at least eight days straight, then you are also entitled to recieve temporary disability payments for the time you were out. Finally, when you are all done treating, we can go to court and try to get you an award (monetary settlement) through workers compensation for your injuries. I am an attorney who has handled hundreds of workers compensation case in various workers compensation courts in New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case in more detail. Please contact me so we can talk some more about how the process works and what I can do to help you. There is never any charge for simply talking to me about a case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, Ronald Aronds, Esq.

Re: Am I covered?

First of all, your employer is Wrong. This is a compensable accident. In order to handle this with the least amount of conflict, I would tell my boss I called Worker's Compensation in trenton and that you explained the situation to them.they told you this was definetely a Comp case.They said that since you were in the course of your employment, this has to go through your employer's Workers Compensation carrier. Tell the hospital and your doctor to submit the bills directly to your employer. If you have a permanant injury as the result of this accident, you are also entitled to a settlement, which we would gladly handle for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
