Frequently Asked Questions about Landscape Worker Injuries in Camden County, Burlington County, and Throughout NJ
If you suffered an injury while working your job as a landscape worker, you are normally entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits through your employer. In addition to workers’ compensation (or in place of workers’ comp if you work for yourself as a landscape worker), you may also be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim against a property owner that retained your company for landscaping if you were hurt by a dangerous or defective condition of the owner’s property. You could also have a product liability claim against a manufacturer or retailer of defective tools or equipment that injured you.
If you choose to pursue a workers’ compensation claim, you should notify your employer of your injury as soon as possible. If your employer refuses to pay you workers’ compensation or pays you fewer benefits than you think you are entitled to, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a formal claim petition with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation. If you decide to pursue a personal injury claim against a third party, you also have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit to pursue that claim.
