My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: New Jersey
This question is for my brother who fell down at work while lifting boxes. Since 3 consecutive weeks he has been out of work and had leg pain. He kept on updating his employer with doctors note and all tests that he was doing. Now the incident happened 1 month ago and he thought his pain will go away but it kept on getting worse so he decided to go and see doctor. Today he received an email from his manager that he can apply for disability benefit. I want to know what is his right as far as claiming benefits is concerned ? Can he apply for workers compensation or can he apply for disability benefit ? His employer emailed him disability benefits form and also filled out the incident report. One Part of disability form has to be filled out by our doctor but we have not submitted the form yet because i want to make sure what is right for my brother (Workers comp or disability benefit) ? We want to make sure that the hospital bill that we may face has to be covered by employer. My brother has partial right hip fracture and i would sincerely appreciate if someone can walk us in the right direction.
