Who decides my entitlement to receive workers’ compensation benefits?

August 26th, 2009 by admin

Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier or your employer, if they are self-insured, will investigate your claim and make a determination as to your eligibility to receive workers’ compensation benefits. If you disagree with their determination, you have a right to file a claim with the Division of Workers’ Compensation. This can be done by either filing an application for an informal hearing or by filing a formal claim petition.

What can I do if my employer will not report my accident to the workers’ compensation insurance carrier?

August 26th, 2009 by admin

You should consider contacting the insurance carrier directly or alternatively, you may want to consider filing a claim with the Division of Workers’ Compensation in this instance. Proof of insurance coverage should be displayed in a prominent location at the place of business. If this information is not posted, you can obtain this information by writing to the Compensation Rating & Inspection Bureau at 60 Park Place, Newark, NJ 07102 or by visiting their web site at www.njcrib.com. If you choose to file a claim, you may wish to contact an attorney for assistance.
