The document discusses workers' compensation law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It outlines each state's relevant statutes and summarizes important court decisions regarding third-party claims and an employer/insurer's right to subrogation. In Pennsylvania, a workers' compensation carrier is generally entitled to subrogation from third-party settlements, but not in medical malpractice cases. In New Jersey, a carrier's lien attaches to most proceeds from third-party claims, even if the employee is not fully compensated.
