Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

It sounds like these gentlemen are both bad employees, if they were fighting on the job. Even if they were fighting after work, it does not sound like a good idea to have them both working for you any longer.

You could use a lawyer's help to get this done, without giving either of them a good reason to come after you.

You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

You don't have to take the guy the guy back at work, however you do have to report this incident and his alleged injuries to your workers compensation insurance carrier. They will do an investigation and determine whether or not to provide medical care and temporary disabiity payments to the injured worker. The law also says that if you get hurt after you voluntarily engage in a fight, then you are not entitled to workers compensation for that injury, but it is up to the workers compensation insurance carrier to make that determination.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
