Workers' Compensation Injuries Must Be Reported in a Timely Matter
In order to file a valid workers' compensation claim, an injured worker must report the accident within 90 days to his or her employer. The NJ Appellate Division affirmed the trial court's ruling dismissing a case of a volunteer emergency medical technician who failed to give timely notice of his injury.
The worker, captain of the rescue squad, alleged an injury occurred when he responded to a one care motor vehicle accident when minor injuries had occurred and he allegedly jumped off a flat bed truck some 3-4 feet off the ground injuring his back. The worker was 42 years old, 6.25 feet tall and weighed 325 pounds who was previously being treated for an arthritic condition.
