WADE STANCIL V. ACE USA A-1438-09T1

WADE STANCIL V. ACE USA A-1438-09T1 02-01-11

The enforcement remedies in the Workers' Compensation Act and corresponding regulations constitute the sole relief available to an aggrieved claimant for willful noncompliance by an employer or its insurer with an order of the compensation court. The compensation court order is enforceable in Superior Court, but the claimant has no common law claim for pain, suffering and increased disability. We therefore affirmed the dismissal of the Law Division complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
