What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits can help cover a wide range of expenses, including:

• Medical Bills: Workers’ compensation covers the cost of all necessary medical treatment for your work injury, including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy, medication, and rehabilitation.
• Lost Wages: If you experienced a work injury, workers’ compensation provides temporary disability benefits to replace lost wages while you are out of work recovering from your injuries. In many cases, permanent disability monetary benefits are available.
• Permanent Partial Disability Benefits: If your work injury results in a permanent disability that impacts your ability to work, you may be eligible for permanent partial disability benefits. These benefits can provide financial support to help you meet your needs.
• Death Benefits: If a family member dies as a result of a work-related injury, death benefits can be provided to their dependents.
  
• Vocational Rehabilitation:  The New Jersey Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS) can cover the cost of vocational rehabilitation services to help you return to work or find a new job if your work injury prevents you from performing your previous duties.
