Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

You will not be able to collect workers' compensation to replace your income if you work for another employer but you are still entitled to compensation for any permanet injury and to have your medical bills paid for treatment of the injury by the insurance company of the company you were working for when you suffered the injury.

As long as the workers compensation insurance company authorized doctor keeps you out of work you are entitled to receive free medical care through the workers compensaton doctor and you are entitled ot receive your temporary disality benefits through workers compensation. If you are cleared to go back to work by the workers compensation doctor then you can take any job with any company that will hire you. Your current company does not have to keep you as an employee if you are out on disability, but they do have to let you continue to collect disability for as long as the workers compensation doctor says you can't work.

Now comes the next part: Due to the nature of your injury you will be eligible to apply for a partial total permanent disability award. This is a legal term that means you can get a monetary award due to the fact that your back will likely never get 100% better. These are the kind of cases I handle on a routine basis for my workers compensation clients. Please contact me to discuss how I can help you in this case. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
