Workers’ Compensation Benefits Available for Head Injury or Concussion Claims
Workers who suffer head injuries or concussions on the job may qualify for significant workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey. To access these benefits, you must demonstrate that your injury occurred during your work duties. Immediate reporting and documentation of symptoms are critical, especially for closed-head injuries, which may not be immediately apparent.
Medical Benefits
If your head injury is work-related, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer must cover necessary medical treatment. However, in most cases, the insurer chooses the treating physician.
Temporary Disability Benefits
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may receive temporary disability benefits, typically 70% of your weekly wage, within specific parameters.
Permanent Disability Benefits
Permanent partial or total disability benefits may be available for severe injuries. The amount depends on the nature and severity of your injury.
