A woman from Camden was arrested after she struck a ShopRite employee with her vehicle while reportedly shoplifting from the store April 14.

According to police reports, 37 year-old Alycia Roman was caught shoplifting items in a Brooklawn ShopRite. Roman then had an altercation with an employee, who followed her to her vehicle to get the shoplifted items back. Witnesses at the scene say that Roman then reversed the car into the employee and attempted to run the employee over.

Roman was arrested and was charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree aggravated assault, shoplifting, unlawful act during the threat or imminence of danger, and fourth-degree throwing bodily fluid at a law enforcement officer.

All persons charged with crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

We would like to send our sympathies to the employee injured in this incident. We wish the employee a quick recovery from his injuries.

Dangerous Jobs

There are jobs that can expose a worker to danger. Firefighters for example, are prone to getting injured on the job. Some jobs may also expose workers to certain dangerous chemicals. These conditions may cause an illness to develop, which can hinder workers from getting income.

If a worker is injured or develops a chronic illness while doing their duties on the job, a request for medical treatment should be made to the employer as soon as possible. Under the NJ workers’ compensation law, the employer and/or their insurance carrier can select the physician(s) to treat injured workers for work related injuries. After that, a worker may file a workers’ compensation claim in order to deal with any medical bills and compensation for any income they may lose while sick or injured. A workers’ compensation claim must be filed as early as possible. Any delay in filing the claim may give doubts to the validity of the claim, which may increase the possibility that the claim is denied.

Once a claim is processed, an injured employee will receive benefits regardless of who was at fault. In exchange for these benefits, the worker cannot bring a civil action against the employer.
