Workers' Compensation Specialist

What is workers' compensation?
Workers' compensation or workers' comp is a program that provides for people injured during the course of their work or made sick by their job. Each state has a workers' compensation board that oversees the plan and deals with claims and disputes.

All employees are eligible for workers' comp, even if they're responsible for their injuries. The only exceptions are cases of deliberate harm and workers who suffer injuries while they have drugs or alcohol in their system.

To receive a workers' compensation payout, you must ensure your injury is reported at work and that you consult an approved physician like Dr. Siegel, who has authorization from the New Jersey Division of Workers' Compensation.

What conditions might trigger a workers' compensation claim?
Common issues that Dr. Siegel deals with that are responsible for a workers' compensation claim include:

Lower back pain
Numbness in the legs and arms
Spinal injuries
Neck and head injuries
