In 2019, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 5% of New Jersey’s workforce was remote. By 2021, that number had more than quadrupled, jumping to 22%.

One thing is clear—for a significant number of New Jersey’s employees, working from home has become “the new normal.”
As employers consider all the areas that this shift affects, one that rises to the forefront is the subject of work-related accidents. Our state’s workers’ compensation system was initiated in 1911, and over the next century would develop into a comprehensive body of law premised upon the traditional model of “work” as we understood it. While the court would occasionally consider cases involving travel or working at a secondary work site, these were mostly outliers, and the system primarily involved cases of workplace injury occurring at specific worksites.
