The Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division has ruled that a man injured while on a coffee break is entitled to full disability benefits. If you or someone you love has been injured at work and isn’t getting the disability compensation he or she deserves, the New Jersey workers compensation lawyers of Levinson & Axelrod may be able to help.
The foreman plumber was injured shortly after leaving union hall in a company vehicle to discuss a project with a union instructor. The instructor was busy, though, so the man took a coffee break. He was on the way to get coffee when he was involved in an accident that resulted in compound fractures in both legs and an arm. Although his employer argued that he wasn’t entitled to disability benefits because he was not at work, the courts ruled that his authorized use of a company vehicle at the time of the accident warranted 100% disability benefits.
