It is important to understand what constitutes workers’ compensation and the benefits to which you may be entitled. Workers’ compensation is not limited to work “accidents,” and benefits can often be paid when the WEAR and TEAR of your duties over time cause an injury or worsen a pre-existing medical condition. For instance, casino workers, food servers, drivers, secretaries, housekeepers, nurses, and construction workers may be entitled to pursue claims for their conditions if their job duties place stress on their wrists, necks, and/or backs, thus causing them to develop carpal tunnel or disc problems.
What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?
Each compensation claim in the Northfield area is unique, and the benefits to which a person may be entitled are specific to his or her situation. However, most people may not fully understand all the benefits to which they may be entitled to under New Jersey law, such as
- Medical treatment
- Temporary disability
- Permanent partial or total disability
The benefits can be paid to you regardless of whether the medical condition or injury occurs due to the WEAR and TEAR of your job over time or from a specific one-time accident. Feel free to contact us today to learn more about your legal rights and to schedule a free consultation.
