TRENTON WORKERS COMPENSATION

The Trenton Workers Compensation Court handles cases seeking work accident benefits filed in Mercer County, New Jersey. The Judges of Compensation diligently and fairly decide a high volume of work injury cases filed by workers in a variety of industries. The Court location is in downtown Trenton.
 
Trenton is the state capital of New Jersey and the county seat of Mercer County. The City of Trenton has a long and venerable history dating back as far as 1719. This reference is in correspondence referring to “Trent-towne” in honor of local landowner William Trent
Before that time, the Lenape tribe inhabited the area. The rich agricultural region of the Delaware River separates the State of New Jersey from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
 
The famous battle of Trenton took place on the morning of December 26, 1776, during the War of Independence from Great Britain. This victory gave General Washington a much-needed morale boost. And the colonists’ first military victory. The famous crossing of the Delaware River by Washington and his troops surprised the English forces stationed in Trenton. The crossing is annually reenacted for tourists and history buffs alike.
 
Trenton’s history includes manufacturing rubber, wire rope, and ceramics from the 1800’s up to the early part of the 20th century. The famous slogan of the city, “Trenton Makes, the World takes” is still reflected on the Lower Trenton Bridge today. The former manufacturing base of the city is today a large population of state employees performing important functions of state government.
The State of New Jersey remains the largest employer in the City today.
 
The historical roots in manufacturing provide a sense of pride even today for many New Jersey workers who value skilled labor. These workers often had parents or grandparents working long hours in construction and manufacturing in and around Trenton and elsewhere. New Jersey workers have a strong sense of pride in the contribution made to the success of the state. That same pride is felt in the Trenton Workers Compensation Court. The Court serves the vital role of making sure benefits get to injured workers in Mercer County.
 
 Mercer County is a thriving county in New Jersey boasting colonial history and a mix of rural and urban areas. As shown in the diagram below, educational services account for the largest industry group in Mercer County. Next are health care workers including nurses are other related professionals. All these workers can incur work injuries that threaten physical and financial well-being.
