I have a 22 year old car that is a lifetime car
I see you have a question related to workers' compensation, but then you mentioned a car. Could you clarify how these two matters are connected?
Case
I understand you have a workers' comp case possibly related to a car. Could you clarify if this is a work-related car accident? Also, please confirm your location.
No it's not a car. I want to know if there is a law in NJ that says me, as the patient, can't be included in phone conferences with workers comp
In New Jersey, there's no specific law barring patients from phone conferences regarding their workers' compensation cases. However, your attorney or insurer might have specific protocols. It's best to communicate your preference to them.
My lawyer quit on me so I no longer have a lawyer. Workers comp told my DR that they'd a law forbidding me from being in on the phone call
In New Jersey, there's no law preventing you from participating in calls about your case. However, some protocols might exist depending on the insurer. You can consult another lawyer or directly contact the New Jersey Division of Workers' Compensation.
