My employer has been very nice to me, and I don’t want to sue them.

A Workers’ Compensation claim is not a lawsuit. Every employer in the State of New Jersey is required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance, which you most likely have contributed to. A Workers’ Compensation claim is just that, a claim against that insurance policy. A Workers’ Compensation claim is not handled in Superior Court, but handled in various administrative Courts throughout the State, who are instructed to look at the evidence in the light most favorable to the injured worker.
