What Are Workers' Compensation Benefits?

New Jersey requires employers to provide workers' compensation insurance to their employees. This insurance provides injured workers compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and permanent disability.

Medical Benefits

Workers' compensation covers all reasonable and appropriate medical costs associated with an injury. This includes authorized hospital care, surgery, and treatment. It also covers prescription costs when deemed necessary for treatment.

After a work injury, you should tell your employer so they can notify the workers' compensation insurance company. If you are seriously injured and need emergency assistance, this is typically covered.

Lost Wages

If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, workers' compensation insurance may provide temporary or permanent disability benefits.
