New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system can be complex and frustrating. Blaise Injury Law helps injured workers get the benefits they deserve.
— No Fee Unless We Win
Your Rights Under NJ Workers’ Compensation Law
If you’ve been injured on the job in New Jersey, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits — regardless of who was at fault for the accident. Workers’ comp covers medical treatment, temporary disability payments while you’re unable to work, and permanent disability benefits if your injuries have lasting effects.
But New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system isn’t always straightforward. Employers and their insurance carriers often dispute claims, deny benefits, or pressure injured workers to return before they’re medically ready. Having an attorney who knows the system makes a significant difference.

What NJ Workers’ Compensation Covers
Medical Benefits
All reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your work injury — including surgery, physical therapy, and prescription medications — must be covered by your employer’s workers’ comp insurer.
Temporary Disability
If you’re unable to work while recovering, you’re entitled to temporary total disability (TTD) benefits equal to 70% of your average weekly wage, up to the state maximum.
Permanent Disability
If your injury results in permanent impairment, you may be entitled to permanent partial disability (PPD) or permanent total disability (PTD) benefits based on the nature and extent of your injury.
Third-Party Claims
If a third party (not your employer) contributed to your injury — a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or negligent driver — you may have a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp.
— Beyond Workers’ Comp
When You May Have a Third-Party Claim
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system — but it also limits what you can recover. You generally cannot sue your employer directly. However, if a third party contributed to your workplace injury, you may have a personal injury claim that goes beyond the workers’ comp system and can include pain and suffering.
Common third-party workplace injury scenarios include: delivery drivers injured by negligent drivers on the road, construction workers injured by subcontractors, workers injured by defective equipment or machinery, and workers injured on someone else’s property.
Blaise Injury Law evaluates every workplace injury claim for both workers’ compensation benefits AND potential third-party liability. Maximizing your recovery means pursuing every available avenue.
