FAQ: Can I get Workers’ Compensation if I work as a grocery store worker and was diagnosed with COVID-19?

Along with many other states, New Jersey is considering legislation that would make it easier for grocery store workers to get Workers’ Compensation after being diagnosed with COVID-19. That law would create a presumption that you contracted the virus at work. If you find yourself in this situation, you should always contact an experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyer as soon as you can. New laws tend to create complications that might not be easy to foresee. Our lawyers will work to help you navigate the new legal rules so that you can focus on recovering.

FAQ: What are the actual benefits that I will receive from Workers’ Compensation if I was hurt or got sick on the job?

Workers’ Compensation provides medical benefits, wage replacement benefits and permanent partial or total disability benefits, if the treatment fails to completely restore the injured body part to full function. Your medical benefits cover the doctors’ bills and treatment, medications, deductibles, copays and even rehabilitative care and physical therapy. Wage replacement benefits are paid weekly and are equal to 70% of your average weekly wages before the accident once you have been kept out of work by the doctor for at least 8 days.
