Recovering Benefits From Workers’ Compensation

The workers’ compensation system in New Jersey can provide several types of financial benefits to an employee who has suffered a work injury or occupational illness. These benefits may include:

• Payment of all reasonable and necessary treatment and rehabilitation for a work-related injury or illness
• Temporary disability benefits that provide partial wage replacement when a worker suffers a loss of income while recovering from their work injury or occupational illness
• Permanent partial disability benefits, which offers payments based on the type and severity of a disability that does not render an employee completely unable to work
• Permanent total disability benefits, which continue temporary disability benefits after they expire for as long as an employee remains unable to work in any type of job
• Death benefits, which provides partial replacement of a deceased worker’s wages, along with up to $3,500 in contribution toward funeral and burial expenses, if a worker’s death was caused by a work injury or occupational illness
