Frequently Asked Questions about Workers Compensation in Clifton, New Jersey

Do I have a workplace injury claim if I’m an independent contractor?

Do I have to prove fault to be able to get workers’ compensation benefits?

No. You don’t have to prove fault in order to file for workers’ compensation. You simply need to show that the injury or illness sustained is work-related. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. It was designed to allow workers to be able to access financial compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses. It replaces your ability to sue your employer for negligence in court.

This, however, does not mean that successfully recovering workers’ compensation is easy. It in fact can be challenging as insurance companies often aren’t willing to make payments. They will look for ways to minimize their losses. It is therefore important to engage a works compensation attorney right from the start to represent you in the process of seeking compensation for your injury.

I developed a condition as a result of work but was not injured in one single accident. Can I recover workers’ compensation benefits?

Yes. Not all work-related injuries or conditions occur as a result of a single incident or accident at work. Some conditions or injuries occur over time. For example, you may develop a disability as a result of repetitive stress on a particular part of your body. This may be due to repetitive motions at work over an extended period. You will be able to recover workers’ compensation for this. However, you will need to show that the problem developed as a result of work-related activities. An experienced Clifton workers’ compensation lawyer can guide and represent you in the process of seeking compensation for your injuries. Contact the Epstein Law Firm to consult with an experienced attorney.
