Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a work-related injury in New Jersey?

A work-related injury is any injury, illness, or condition that occurs while you’re performing your job duties. This can include sudden accidents (like falls or machinery injuries), repetitive strain (like carpal tunnel syndrome), or even illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous substances. If it happened during the course of your employment, you likely have a valid claim.

How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in NJ?

You must notify your employer within 90 days of the injury. Official claims should be filed with the Division of Workers’ Compensation within two years from the date of injury or last payment of compensation, whichever is later.

Can I sue my employer instead of filing for workers’ comp?

Generally, workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for job-related injuries in New Jersey, meaning you typically cannot sue your employer. However, there are exceptions — such as if a third party (like a contractor or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury. In these cases, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim alongside your workers’ comp case.

What if my claim is denied?

Claim denials happen for many reasons — insufficient documentation, employer disputes, or procedural issues. ASK Law Firm can step in to review your denial, gather supporting evidence, and formally appeal the decision so that your claim gets the attention it deserves.

How much compensation can I expect?

Compensation depends on the extent of your injury, how long you’re unable to work, and whether you have a permanent disability. Benefits may include full coverage of medical treatment, temporary wage replacement (typically 70% of your average wage), and permanent disability payments if applicable. Our attorneys will fight for the maximum amount allowed under New Jersey law.

Will I be fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for filing a legitimate workers’ compensation claim. If you’ve experienced threats, reduced hours, or termination, we can help you assert your rights and potentially pursue further legal remedies.

What should I look for in a workers’ comp lawyer?

Choose a law firm that not only understands the nuances of New Jersey workers’ compensation law, but also has a proven strategy for handling insurance resistance. Look for a team that offers free consultations, no upfront costs, and a commitment to fighting for you step by step — just like we do at ASK Law Firm.
