Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 34:15-19, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 34:15-19.
After an injury, the employee, if so requested by his employer, must submit himself
for physical examination and X-ray at some reasonable time and place within this state,
and as often as may be reasonably requested, to a physician or physicians authorized
to practice under the laws of this state. If the employee requests, he shall be entitled to have a physician or physicians
of his own selection present to participate in such examination. The refusal of the employee to submit to such examination shall deprive him of the
right to compensation during the continuance of such refusal. When a right to compensation is thus suspended no compensation shall be payable
in respect to the period of suspension. On request, the workmen's compensation bureau may examine the X-ray for the purpose
of determining the amount of disability due, if any.
