Bradley Beach Workers Compensation Lawyer Discusses Suing for Injuries if You are Hurt on the Job

shutterstock_177524828 The difference in New Jersey between an accident that occurs in the workplace versus an accident that occurs any place else, is that if your accident occurs during the course of your employment, you don’t have to prove anybody who is responsible for the injury. I advise clients as a Bradley Beach Workers Compensation Lawyer that you can be solely responsible for the accident yourself. You can slip and fall because you’re not looking where you’re going, and you’re still entitled to recover in Workers’ Compensation court. Now you’re going to get your medical bills paid, although your boss has the right to determine what doctors you go to and you’re going to get, in New Jersey, 70% of your lost income from the period of time you’re out of work. I advise clients as a Bradley Beach Workers Compensation Lawyer that a judge will ultimately determine the extent of your disability and will give you a lump sum amount of money at the conclusion of your case that represents the extent of your total or partial disability.
