Can A Company Avoid NJ Workers Compensation by Contract?
No. The New Jersey Appellate Division held that a Workers Compensation Judge can look beyond the terms of a contract to see if there are ground that would give the Workers Compensation Court jurisdiction. See related article on Jurisdiction. See Parks v. Johnson Motor Lines, 156 N.J. Super. 177 (App.Div. 1978). Gotkin v. Weinberg, 2 NJ 305 (1949).
