Personal Injury

What is workers’ compensation?

If you were injured on the job or in an auto accident recently, you may have a right to workers’ compensation, a form of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees who have been hurt at work.

These benefits are designed to ease the financial burden of being injured at work, so you can return to your job sooner, without worrying about how you’re going to pay your medical bills or make up for lost wages.

In the state of New Jersey, your employer has the right to choose a doctor that’s in their network to assess and treat your injuries, so it’s important to connect with both your employer and your physician before an office visit. In exchange for this privilege, the carrier must authorize any tests, medications, or procedures that the doctor prescribes.

How do I know which doctor to choose?
