Overview

This book is designed to be a practical, up-to-date, and plain English guide to handling New Jersey workers' compensation claims. The chapters in this book are designed to follow the natural timeline of a workers' compensation claim. We begin with initial reporting requirements, establishing jurisdiction, and we address compensability. We then discuss the benefits available to an injured worker: medical treatment, wage replacement, and special handling considerations for specific types of claims. Finally, the ending chapters in this book discuss trial considerations, types of settlements, judgment and appeal, and related considerations (HIPAA, Medicare Secondary Payer, etc). Changes for the 2015 edition included the addition of an index for easy reference, expanded discussions in all chapters, the inclusion of new (2013 & 2014) reported and unreported decisions, and three revised appendices with updated rate and benefit information.
