Will My Workers’ Comp Claim Hurt My Company?

Home > Will My Workers’ Comp Claim Hurt My Company?
Apr 24, 2018 | Petro Cohen | Read Time: 2 minutes

You are a loyal employee. You like to think of yourself as a team player. But you have been hurt in a work-related incident. Is it disloyal to fi le a workers’ compensation claim? Will it hurt your employer’s business if you seek medical and disability benefit s through the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law for your workplace injury? The Answer: An Emphatic “No”!

Your Protection is Already In Place

All New Jersey employers are required to provide workers’ compensation coverage for their employees. The purpose of workers’ comp insurance is to provide medical benefi ts and loss of income protection (both temporary and permanent) for workers who sustain work-related injuries and conditions, including WEAR and TEAR injuries.

Workers’ Compensation is a “No Fault” System

An injured employee need not establish fault on the part of the employer to recover. The employer has no “stigma” attached to it because an employee has fi led a claim. It’s an everyday occurrence. The employer does not have to admit that it was negligent, or that it ran a shop that was not safe. All work-related injuries, including those that develop over time, like WEAR and TEAR injuries, are covered.

Injured Employees Are Required to File Claims

Remember too that all New Jersey employees who sustained injury – whether due to a single incident or trauma or due to repeated trauma over a long period of time – are required to fi le a claim. No stigma attaches to the injured employee.
