PATERSON WORKERS COMPENSATION COURT

Paterson is the county seat of Passaic County in the northern part of the State of New Jersey bordering New York City. The City is highly urbanized and densely populated. The City of Paterson has a venerable history dating back post the Revolutionary War period. Alexander Hamilton, then U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, helped establish the region as an early manufacturing hub.

The Great Falls of the Passaic River provided a reliable and inexpensive source of energy for industry to flourish. Known as the “Silk Road” in the latter half of the 19th century due to the dominance of silk production in the area. As with other regions experiencing the early impact of the Industrial Revolution, Paterson’s workers were often inadequately paid with no social or insurance programs to cover even basic needs in the event of a work accident.

The living and working conditions for factory and industry employees at the time were often abysmal. Most workers also lived close to their place of employment crowded into small living quarters in large buildings. No union representation or a system of law in New Jersey to provide even basic protections.

Time has changed in New Jersey. The law governing work accidents, for example, gives the injured workers a system to recover physically without sacrificing basic needs.

Today, Paterson is a cultural melting pot with residents from around the world including Arab nations and Southeast Asia. Representative countries of origin for many residents of Paterson include Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Peru, Turkey, Bangladesh, Albania, and Bosnia. The diversity of ethnicity in Paterson gives the City a vibrancy of cultural pride and distinct neighborhood charm. The Eastside Park Historic District is nationally recognized for its grand architecture. These homes once served many of the wealthy industrialists of the early 20th century.

As shown in the diagram below, Passaic County has a varied number of industries. This creates a solid economic base. But, workers employed in manufacturing and health care are more likely to suffer serious workplace injuries.
