Every job has the potential for you to hurt yourself. For example, Office workers can slip, trip, or even fall on carpeting or stairs. Administrative tasks can lead to over-use injuries.
Construction workers, police, and others in physically demanding jobs have greater exposure to potential injuries, but all work involves some potential for an accident or injury.
In New Jersey, all employers not covered by special Federal programs, are required to have Workers’ Compensation coverage or be self-insured.
If you’ve been in an accident at work, been injured on the job, or are experiencing pain you believe is a result of the work you do, follow the procedures your employer has in place and see your doctor right away. If the pain is severe or your bleeding, call an ambulance or go to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible.
We at Atlantic County Family Spine and Rehabilitation are very experienced with the workers’ compensation system and have successfully treated employees who have worked in casino gaming, first responders and emergency services professionals such as police and fire departments, as well as education, healthcare, construction, and other professions.
