course of their employment. While they have gone through several amendments,
and interpretations by the Court, these laws have remained the same for

temporary disability benefits while you are out of work, and benefits
for any permanent injury. For over 75-years, Levinson Axelrod handling
New Jersey Worker’s Compensation cases. Even though Labor Day marks
the “End of Summer,” it is also a good time to remember to
celebrate all of the important work done to protect worker’s rights
now and in the future.
