Whether your workplace injury occurred on a construction site, or in an office, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. You cannot sue your employer for on the job injuries, so it is imperative that you file your workers' compensation claim immediately following your injury in order to receive proper compensation. The experienced workers’ comp lawyers at Hoyt & Hoyt, P.C. can walk you through your claim to ensure you receive the maximum settlement.

What types of workers' compensation benefits am I entitled to?

For temporary total disability (meaning non-permanent injuries), you are entitled to 70% of your gross weekly wages.

You are entitled to medical care for your work-related injuries at your employer's expense. However, under New Jersey state law, your employer has the right to choose which doctor you may go to for treatment.

If your injury is permanent, you are entitled to permanent partial or total disability benefits. The amount you are entitled to receive will depend on what part of your body was injured and to what extent. The extent of your disability is estimated by two doctors: one chosen by your attorney and one chosen by your employer. Your attorney, your employer’s attorney, and the workers’ compensation judge will negotiate the final extent of your disability.

If your spouse or parent was killed in a work-related accident, you are entitled to receive dependency benefits in the amount of 50% of the worker's weekly salary. The experienced lawyers at Hoyt & Hoyt P.C. help the families of workers who have died as the result of a work-related injury, obtain recovery through workers’ compensation and wrongful death lawsuits.
