In the state of New Jersey, the workers’ compensation system is “no fault,” meaning that an injured employee can obtain compensation regardless of responsibility or partial responsibility for the accident. Through the workers’ compensation system, an individual who was injured on the job can obtain compensation for lost wages as well as medical costs. Except in limited circumstances, however, once a workers’ compensation claim has been filed, the injured employee waives the right to file a civil lawsuit against an employer.
An experienced New Jersey workers’ comp lawyer can review the facts of your case and determine whether any third party or entity is responsible for causing your injuries and is therefore legally responsible for providing compensation. There are many different types of third-party claims, including:

If a New Jersey workers’ comp lawyer reviews your case and determines that you have a cause of action against a third party for your workplace-related accident, it is necessary to consider the differences between workers’ compensation versus third-party claims, including:
An injured employee may have a legal basis for a cause of action against a third-party individual or entity in addition to a workers’ compensation claim. A New Jersey workers’ comp lawyer at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A. can confirm which actions are appropriate based on the cause of your accident. Contact our office today to learn more.
