If your employer has New Jersey workers&#8217; compensation insurance, he or she will report the injury to the insurer. The insurer will pass along the information to the Compensation Rating &amp; Inspection Bureau, who will in turn send it to the New Jersey Division of Workers&#8217; Compensation. Upon being informed of the injury, the Division of Workers&#8217; Compensation will be responsible for making sure your employer or your employer&#8217;s insurance company complies with the law.Employers can be self-insured for workers&#8217; compensation purposes, but they would need to be approved by the Department of Banking &amp; Insurance. An employer will only be approved if it can show sufficient assets to cover all potential work injury claims.A self-insured employer will submit the same forms to the state that the insurance company for a covered employer would. These are the First Report of Accident (FROI\/IA-1), which must be submitted within three weeks of learning of the accident, and the Subsequent Report of Accident (SROI\/SA\/IA-2), which must be filed within 26 weeks of the injured employee recovering enough to be able to return to work (or maximum medical improvement, if such a recovery is not expected).If you have been injured on the job, an experienced New Jersey workers&#8217; compensation attorney may be able to help you get the benefits you need.

Matrafajlo at (908) 248-4404 for a free evaluation of your case."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Does an Employer Need to Report a New Jersey Work Injury to the State?","item":"https:\/\/staging-dmlawyer2.wordkeeper.net\/does-an-employer-need-to-report-a-new-jersey-work-injury-to-the-state\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
