Union County Workers Compensation Lawyers

Workplace Accident Claims in Union County

Any county with colossal manufacturing facilities and a substantial workforce has resulted in workers’ compensation claims, and Union County is no exception.  Simply put, a worker’s compensation claim is filed by an injured employee if he or she is injured during employment.  Under New Jersey law, every employer in the state, whether a mom-and-pop shop with two employees or a multi-national corporation, must carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover the employee in the event of an injury.

Under the law, workers compensation insurance covers the injured employee’s medical expenses, provides for temporary disability payments if the injured employee is unable to work and entitles the injured worker to permanent award for any permanent disability he or she might have sustained as a result of the workplace accident.

It is important to remember that there are time limitations involved with filing a workers’ compensation claim.

As soon as the worker knows or suspects that he or she has a work-related injury or illness, he or she should immediately report it to his or her employer.
