Crossing The Bridge: How to Handle a WC Case with Dual Jurisdiction

Program Originally Presented Friday, May 16, 2025

Workers’ compensation is one of the more state-specific areas of the law. Each state legislates its own statutes and regulations. Given the border proximity between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, dual jurisdiction is an issue seen with relative frequency in workers’ compensation claims. Dual jurisdiction presents an opportunity to harness the advantages of each jurisdiction to maximize compensation, but that same opportunity for a claimant to file a claim in more than one potential state can significantly alter both procedural matters as well as potential exposure.

This course is designed to provide insight and guidance for the WC practitioner handling cases that cross jurisdictional lines. Panelists will focus on the intersection between the PA and NJ Worker’s Compensation practice.  The program will offer useful, practical information for both Claimant and Employer attorneys to navigate between both states’ different laws and practice methodology.

Attend this CLE program for valuable practice tips and insight for the Pennsylvania/New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Practitioner.
