A patient starts to fall, but a nurse catches them before they hit the floor. Alarms don’t sound, and the nurse continues as usual. Across hospitals, nursing homes, and home-care visits in Atlantic, Cape May, Camden, and Mercer counties, years of saves, boosts, turns, and transfers can strain muscles and grind down spinal discs. By the time a nurse seeks a workers’ compensation back injury settlement, the pain may accumulate from a thousand ordinary lifts rather than a single catastrophic moment. So it’s important to know New Jersey law may cover that cumulative harm.

Indeed, those sorts of injuries are all too common. They are also generally compensable under New Jersey’s workers’ compensation law.
