Benefits That the New Jersey Undocumented Worker Injury Lawyers at The Law Offices of Harold J. Gerr Can Help You Recover when Injured as an Undocumented Worker

As an undocumented worker, you have the right to recover financial compensation for your work-related injuries through workers’ compensation. While you may not be authorized to work in the country, you are still entitled to the benefits offered by the worker’s compensation system while working under gainful employment. The law in New Jersey prohibits employers from denying injured workers these benefits because of their work authorization or immigration status.

You may therefore be entitled to receive:

• Medical benefits cover the costs of necessary treatment and rehabilitation for your work injury until you reach maximum medical improvement or until the point where further treatment will not improve your condition.
• Temporary partial disability benefits to cover part of your wages if you are able to return to work as a part-timer or working on lighter duties. These benefits will cover the difference between your reduced pay and the pay you were receiving prior to the injury.
• Permanent partial disability benefits compensate for the permanent loss of function in any part of your body. These benefits are given when you are still able to work.
• Permanent total disability benefits are given when you cannot return to work as a result of a permanent disability even after treatment. The benefits are given as a wage replacement for as long as you remain totally disabled.

If a third party was responsible for the accident, you may be entitled to additional benefits. You can file a third-party personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation. Our New Jersey undocumented worker injury lawyers will help you explore all the options for compensation available to you in order to maximize your financial recovery.
