Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Injured at work

I recently was injured on my job. My boss sent me to the hospital, where I received stitches in my nose from a ladder falling on me. My boss did not pay me while I was at the hosptial being treated. He also did not pay me the next day while I saw the Workers Comp doctor, and he did not pay me today, when I went to get my stitches out. Is he required to? He stated that he does not have to. Who is correct?

Re: Injured at work

If you had built up sick days you can apply them to the days you had to take off. If you didn't, then he does not have to pay you for the days you missed. If you are out for at least 8 days in a row because of your work place accident, then the workers compensaiton carrier has to pay you temporary disability. I am an attorney who has handled hundreds of workers compensation cases in various workers compensation courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case with you in more detail. Please contact me to discuss your case. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
