This past August, Acting Gov. Nicholas Scutari (who was serving in that position while Gov. Phil Murphy was at the Democratic National Convention) signed into law S2822/A3986, which increases the contingency fee cap for attorneys in workers' compensation cases from 20% to 25%. Scutari, the New Jersey senate president who himself is a personal injury and workers' compensation attorney, said the increase would "ensur[e] fair compensation for attorneys and provid[e] workers with the accessible, quality legal representation they deserve."
