Bureau of Workmen's Compensation XXXIX. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAW— SUMMARY Complete copies of this law, as amended in 1919 and 1921, may be obtained by writing to the Department of Labor, Com- pensation Bureau, State House, Trenton, N. J. 383. The law is divided into two parts; Section I and Section li Section I is the legal liability section. Under this section dam- ages can' be obtained only by trial before a Jury, when the accident can be shown to be due in any sense to the negligence of the em- ployer, without willful negligence on the part of the employee. Section I 'will not apply to any employee unless he, gives to his employer, or received from him, a notice in writing' rejecting Section II. An employee cannot receive the advantages of both sections of the law. Section II applies to every employee unless the above notice has been served. Under this section the employee is entitled to compensa- tion, according to a schedule contained in the law, for all accidental injuries arising out of and in the course of his employment, without regard to negligence on the part of employer or employee, except when the injury is intentionally self-inflicted, or when intoxication is the natural cause of the injury. The injured employee, or someone for him, must give notice of the injury to the employer, within fourteen days of the occurrence. If he does not do so, no compensation shall be due until the notice is given, or the employer knows of the injury. The notice to the em- ployer should be in form somewhat like the following : To (name of employer) : You are hereby notified that a personal injury was received by (name of employee injured), who was in your employ at (place) while engaged as (nature of employment), on or about the ( ) day of ( ) , nineteen hundred and ( ), and that compensation will be claimed therefor. Signed ( ) 207 208 This is to be signed by the injured employee or someone in his be- half. This notice may be sent to the office of the employer, or given to the foreman or superintendent in charge of the room, departinent, or place where the employee worked. The schedule of compensation under Section II is in general as follows : During the first four weeks after the, injury occurs, the employer muist furnish reasonable medical and hospital services and medicines not to exceed fifty dollars. No compensation is payable until after the injured has been disabled ten days, whether these days be con- secutive or not. This period is called the waiting period, and if at any time thereafter disability is suffered, compensation is payable, but not beyond three hundred weeks for temporary disability. Compenisation shall be two-thirds of the wage at time of accident, but no weekly compensation shall be greater than $12, nor less than $6, unless the employee is earning less, in which case he shall receive his full wage. In the event of amputation, or other permanent injury, further compensation, at the same rate, is to be paid. This is over and above what the employee may be earning after resuming work. Compensation for amputations listed in the schedule shall be for the following number of weeks: Thumb, 60 weeks; 1st finger, 35 weeks ; 2nd finger, 30 weeks; 3rd finger, 20 weeks; 4th finger, 15 weeks; great toe, 30 weeks; each other toe, 10 weeks. The loss of one joint of a finger or toe shall call for one-half the number of weeks. The lo'Ss of any portion of one joint calls for a like proportion of the number of weeks allowed for the loss of all of that joint. ArxQ, 200 weeks; leg, 175 weeks; hand, 150 weeks; foot, 125 weeks; eye, 100 weeks. Claims for permanent injuries not classified must be settled by agreement for a number of weeks proportionate to weeks stated in the schedule. The losis of both hands, feet or eyes, of any two thereof, shall con- stitute total permanent disability, requiring compensation for 400 weeks. Other injuries also may constitute total disability. In fatal accidents the injured is entitled to expenses of last sick- ness not in excess of $200. The employer must also pay for funeral expenses, but not more than $100. 209 Compensatioii for fatal accidents shall be paid for 300 weeks as follows: one dependent is entitled to 35 per cent, of wages; two de- pendents to 40 per cent. ; three to 45 per cent. ; four to 50 per cent. ; five to 55 per cent. ; six, or more, to 60 per cent. ; but no weekly compensation shall be greater than $13. In making payments to children, only those under eighteen years of age shall be included. Compensation in fatal cases isi now payable to alien dependents not living in the United States. Compensation for all classes of injury shall be paid one after the other, as follows : First four weeks' medical and hospital service. After the first ten days of disability, compensation for temporary disability. After that, compensation for each permanent injury, one after the other. After that, if death results from the accident, expenses of last sickness and burial, subject to the limits stated above. After that, compensation to dependents. An injured employee refusing to submit to an examination, forfeits compensation during the period of refusal. Injured employees re- fusing medical aid proffered by their employers, must pay the med- ical expenses. The 1919 Legislature has declared that hernia is not ordinarily the result of accident but due to a personal defect; compensation, therefore, can be claimed for disability on account of this condition only in unusual cases. Employers or employees experiencing trouble on any question un- der this law, can obtain legal advice free of charge by applying to any official of the Compensation Bureau. Information as to where and when these can be seen can be obtained by calling on or writing to WOEKMEN'S COMPENSATION BUEEAU, State House, Trenton, 9-11 Franklin Street, Newark, or 571 Jersey Ave., Jersey City. 14 INDEX A.
