Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Re: dont know what to do

Sounds like you are getting the run around from your employer and the insurance company and the only way to get the benefits you are entitled to is to hire a lawyer who can fight for your rights which are:

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.

If you have a doctor�s note which says you cannot work or can only work with restrictions, and work has no light duty work, you are entitled to receive temporary disability benefits. If you are not paid the medical and temporary benefits that you are entitled to, my office can file a Motion with the Court to attempt to compel these benefits.

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: dont know what to do

The doctor they are sending you to is licensed to practice medicine in New Jersey, but he also works at least indirectly for the insurance company. On the one hand the insurance claims person can't demand that the doctor send you back to work if you are too sick to work. On the other hand the doctor may feel obligated to send you back to work on light duty, if the company has any for you. In addition to free medical care, you are entitled to receive temporary disability payments equal to 70% of your base pay for the period of time the doctor keeps you totally out of work. Finally, you are also entitled to receive a permanent disability award if you don't get 100% better. I am an attorney who has handled hundreds of workers compensation cases in various courts in New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case with me in more detail. I can be reached at 908-272-0111. There is never any charge for simply talking about a case with me. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Re: dont know what to do

Your doctor is the only person that can return you to work. The claims person, however, will try to put pressure on the doctor. Hopefully, the doctor will not cave in. You need to speak with a workers' compensation attorney. We can help and our consultations are free.
