New Jersey Workers' Compensation Law Recognizes Two Types of Injury

It is important to understand that there are two types of work injuries recognized in New Jersey workers’ compensation law. The first, specific accident, is when an injury is sustained at a particular moment- for example, if you fall down the stairs at your job and break your leg as a result- that injury can be recorded at a specific time, place and date. 

 

The second, an occupational exposure claim, is the result of repetitive motion or exposure over a long period of time, not one that occurs on a specific date – such as factory workers exposed to chemicals or fumes on the job that are diagnosed with lung disease as a result.

 

If you, or a loved one has sustained an injury in a New Jersey workplace, whether it be a specific accident or a result of repetitive occupational exposure, experienced workers’ compensation trial attorney Manfred Ricciardelli is here to help you. Call us today at 877-360-0183.
