Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a workers compensation claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. For occupational diseases the time limit is two years from when you knew or should have known the injury was work related. Missing this deadline can bar your claim so it is important to act promptly.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workers comp claim in Berkeley Heights?
New Jersey law allows your employer or its insurance company to select the doctor who treats your injury. You may request a change of physician if you are not satisfied but you must follow the proper procedure. It is wise to discuss your options with a lawyer before making changes.
What benefits am I entitled to under New Jersey workers compensation?
You may receive medical treatment for your injury, temporary disability benefits for time off work, and permanent disability benefits for lasting impairment.
