New Jersey Work Injury Statistics
- In 2023, private industry employers in New Jersey reported 66,800 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses—an incident rate of 2.3 cases per 100 full-time workers.
- Of those, 43,700 cases involved days away from work, job transfers, or restrictions.
These figures span jobs from trade, transportation, utilities, healthcare, education, to manufacturing. If you’re among them, prompt legal support can make a critical difference in getting compensation for your injuries.
