Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

I was injured during a hazing -termed motivation- while in the police academy. I now have a WC claim. Does it make a difference if WC lawyer reference how the injury was incurred as a physical training injury versus a hazing injury? If so, does the liability differ? Fyi...in the academy there is a difference in motivation (hazing) and physical training
