What Benefits Are Available under Workers’ Compensation in Camden County, NJ
An employee who suffers a work injury in Camden County can normally file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits with their employer. Workers’ compensation is usually an injured workers’ sole path to obtaining compensation from their employer for a work injury — you typically are precluded from filing a personal injury lawsuit against your employer.
New Jersey workers’ compensation benefits can include:
Medical benefits: Your employer must pay for all reasonable and necessary treatment required for your work injury. Your employer may choose the medical provider you see for your treatment or may require you to choose a provider from a list approved by your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer. You can continue to have your medical treatment compensated until your doctors determine you have reached maximum medical improvement, the point at which no further treatment will improve your condition.
Temporary disability benefits: When your work injury keeps you out of work or prevents you from working full-time or full-duty, you may be entitled to partial replacement of the pay you miss out on while recovering from your work injury. These benefits are based on the average weekly wage you were earning prior to your work injury.
Permanent disability benefits:
Although the law provides workers’ compensation benefits to any employee who suffers a work injury, in practice many workers’ compensation insurance companies try to avoid liability for having to pay out benefits, including denying an injury as work-related, declining to provide certain benefits, or cutting off workers’ comp before you have fully healed. That’s why you need experienced Camden County work injury lawyers on your side fighting to make sure that you receive all the benefits you may be legally entitled to.

Pursuing a Third-Party Claim for a Camden County Work Injury
While you you can receive workers’ compensation for any work injury, if your injury was caused by the negligence or legal fault of a third party outside of your work — for example, a negligent motorist, or the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment you used in your job — you may be entitled to assert a third-party injury claim in addition to your claim for workers’ comp. A third-party injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for:
Costs of medical treatment and rehabilitation
Lost wages from the time you miss from work during your recovery
Lost earning capacity, when permanent disabilities impact your ability to work
Pain and suffering and lost quality of life
Loss of consortium
Recovering compensation and benefits from both workers’ comp and a third-party injury claim following a work injury can be complicated. Let our experienced work injury lawyers ensure you receive the full amount of compensation you are entitled to.

Frequently Asked Questions about Work Injuries in Camden County
FAQ: If I work two jobs, can I get workers’ comp benefits for both jobs?
When you suffer a work injury, workers’ compensation benefits are paid by the employer of the job where you were injured. However, if you work a second job and your work injury prevents you from working that job, you may be entitled to claim disability benefits for that second job from the employer liable for your work injury.
FAQ: My employer and its workers’ compensation insurer offered me a settlement. Should I take it?
You should never accept a workers’ compensation settlement without first talking with a work injury lawyer. Insurance companies are always looking for ways to limit their liability to you, so the first settlement offer rarely represents fair or full compensation. You should almost always wait until your work injury resolves so that you know whether you may be left with any disabilities and whether you can return to work or earn a living.
