Worker Compensation Claims during the Fall Season

As the beautiful colors of autumn begin to flourish, it’s essential to address a significant aspect of employment law that often comes to the forefront during this season: worker compensation claims.

For New Jersey workers, autumn brings not only a change in weather, but also a potential increase in workplace injuries, and you should have a keen understanding of worker compensation laws and your rights to any claims.

The autumn season, while beautiful, can introduce various hazards in the workplace. Wet leaves, unpredictable weather conditions, and earlier sunsets can lead to slip-and-fall accidents, especially in outdoor occupations such as construction, landscaping, and delivery services.

Additionally, indoor workers may face risks related to heating systems, increased workload due to holiday preparations, and even seasonal illnesses that could exacerbate pre-existing conditions.
