When employees are injured on the job in New Jersey, they may want to notify their employer as soon as possible. According to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act, employees must notify their employers within 90 days of the injury to receive workers’ compensation benefits.

If employees do not notify their employers within 90 days, then they may end up paying for their medical treatment personally. However, if the injury is the result of work over a long period of time, then the employees may still be able to recoup workers’ compensation benefits.

If you have questions about workers’ compensation, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation benefits attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 1-888-389-COMP.
