Worker's Compensation Services in New Jersey
We provide medical evaluation and ongoing care to employees who sustain on-the-job injuries or illnesses with the goal of returning your employees to work as soon as possible safely. We understand that companies and jobs are unique, so we use a combination of industry knowledge and restrictions to create opportunities for employers to provide modified duty options, appropriately scheduled follow-up examinations, orthopedic referrals and physical therapy to assist in employee treatment and accelerated case closure. Modified duty is vital to improving productivity and reducing loss of time claims. Our board-certified physicians assess, document and communicate the injured employee's diagnosis, prognosis and duty restrictions to the employer and other appropriate parties.
Our Worker's Compensation Services Include
Fitness for Duty Examination
We offer the fitness for duty examination, which helps determine if an employee can return to work in a condition fit for the proper, competent and safe performance of their duties throughout a scheduled shift. Their physical and mental ability to perform the assigned tasks, interpersonal behavior and judgment are all assessed factors.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Physical therapy and rehabilitation are available onsite at select locations. Our physical therapists expedite the return-to-work process through aggressive therapy that focuses on alleviating patients' symptoms while educating patients on how they can prevent injuries in the future.
