What Does Workers’ Compensation Insurance Cover? Workers’ compensation covers reimbursement for medical expenses. If you seek medical attention after a work accident, you should make sure that you report the accident to your medical providers. Doctors and therapists must be approved in Delaware to handle work-related accident claims. If you lose time from work due to a compensable work accident, your workers’ compensation will reimburse your lost wages at a rate of 2/3 your average weekly wage. If you are unable to return to work making the same wage as before, workers’ compensation may make up the difference between what you were making before and what you are able to earn after. If your work accident results in a permanent injury, you may be entitled to an award of compensation for your permanent impairment or permanent partial impairment. Scarring or other disfigurements may also result in a right to receive compensation. For example, if you have surgery after a work accident, you may be able to receive monetary compensation for the surgery scars. Or if the work accident involves burns that result in scarring, you may receive compensation for that “disfigurement”.

FAQs
Do I need a lawyer if I am injured at work?
Under New Jersey Workers Compensation Law, an injured worker is entitled to receive medical treatment, wages when the worker cannot work due to the work injury, and compensation for permanent injuries. Not all workers' compensation insurance companies will willingly provide these benefits to an injured worker. A lawyer can help the injured worker by filing a motion with the Workers Compensation Court compelling the insurance company to provide medical treatment and wages. In addition, a lawyer will ensure that an injured worker receives fair compensation for permanent injuries by hiring medical experts, making effective legal arguments, and, when necessary, bringing the matter to the Workers Compensation Court.
How will my lawyer get paid in a workers' compensation case?
A lawyer will not take money upfront in your workers' compensation case. Your lawyer will charge you a contingent fee at the end of the case. This means that the lawyer will only get paid if you receive compensation for permanent injury. The fee is set by law and is up to 20% of any compensation you receive for permanent injury. In most cases, the workers' compensation insurance company will be responsible for a portion of the fee bringing the injured worker's fee down to 8% of his or her recovery for permanent injury.
Am I responsible for copays and deductibles if I am injured at work?
In New Jersey, an injured worker should immediately report all injuries to his or her supervisor or manager. The law requires workers' compensation insurance carriers to provide and pay for medical treatment. There are no deductibles or copays charged to an injured worker. There should be no out-of-pocket expenses under the workers' compensation law in New Jersey.
Can I bring a workers' compensation claim if I am not a legal resident?
Illegal residents who are injured at work can still bring a workers' compensation claim in New Jersey. The sole legal question is whether the worker was injured during his or her employment. If so, the law requires that the worker receive medical treatment, lost wages, and compensation for permanent injury even if the worker is not a legal resident of the United States.
Can I receive permanent payments or benefits after a work injury?
New Jersey Workers Compensation Law provides permanent disability benefits for workers who cannot return to work because of a work injury. A worker who is successful in establishing permanent disability will receive a lifetime of payments based upon the injured worker's wages at the time of his or her injury. A worker who is seeking permanent disability payments will benefit from hiring an experienced workers' compensation lawyer since there are rigorous proofs that must be established to win permanent disability benefits. The worker must present persuasive and compelling medical evidence that establishes that the work injury is permanent in nature and resulted in the worker's inability to return to work. An experienced workers' compensation lawyer will obtain qualified medical experts and make effective legal arguments on your behalf to establish permanent disability.
