When you are hurt or injured while performing your duties as an employee, there is a specialized area of the law that allows workers to recover money damages including lost wages, medical bills and a permanency award for pain and suffering. Under New Jersey and Pennsylvania law, employers are required to have workers’ compensation insurance in order to pay these benefits. Workers’ compensation covers all physical injuries including neck, back and shoulder injuries, broken bones, damage to discs, foot, leg, knee, and ankle injuries, amputations, brain injuries, burns, hearing damage, and any other occupational-related disease or death. In fact, even if your condition was aggravated by working at your job you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. These work-related benefits are payable regardless of whether you are at fault or not.
