What's the difference between workers' compensation and long-term disability benefits?

Posted on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 am    

There are a number of significant differences between workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits. Workers’ compensation benefits are intended for work-related injuries. The benefits are typically covered by the employer’s insurance provider.

Long-term disability benefits, on the other hand, cover non-work related medical conditions. These conditions can include neck and back pains. In most cases, individuals pay for their long-term disability benefits.

If you or anyone you know has questions about workers’ compensation, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP.
