KEVIN ROY VS. MARSDEN & SONS ELECTRIC (DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT,DIVISION OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION)

**Kevin Roy vs. Marsden & Sons Electric - Workers' Compensation Case** This case involved Kevin Roy, who filed a workers' compensation claim against his employer, Marsden & Sons Electric. Workers' compensation claims typically arise when employees are injured on the job and seek benefits to cover medical expenses and lost wages. Roy's case was handled by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development's Division of Workers' Compensation. Unfortunately, the specific details of what Roy claimed happened to him at work, what injuries he sustained, and how the case was ultimately resolved are not available from the court records. The case was filed in August 2017 with the New Jersey appellate division, suggesting there may have been an appeal of an earlier decision. **What This Means for Workers:** This case highlights the workers' compensation system that protects employees who get hurt on the job. In New Jersey, workers have the right to file compensation claims when they suffer work-related injuries. Even if initial claims are denied, workers can appeal those decisions through the court system. The fact that this case reached the appellate level shows that workers have multiple opportunities to seek the benefits they believe they deserve when injured at work.
