Benefits Available Through a Workers’ Compensation Claim
Workers’ compensation provides important protections for employees who are hurt or become ill because of their job. If your claim is approved, you may qualify for several different types of benefits.
Your First Steps After a Workplace Injury – How To File A Claim
What you do in the first hours and days after an injury is critical. To protect your health and your right to benefits, take these steps immediately.
Report the Injury
Tell your supervisor or manager about the incident right away, even if it seems minor. Delays can put your claim at risk.
02
Get Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. In most New Jersey cases, your employer has the right to choose the doctor for your initial treatment. It is important you go to their authorized physician.
03
Document Everything
Keep a simple log of your symptoms, the dates they started, and any conversations you have with your employer or their insurer. Note the names of any witnesses.
04
File Your Claim
The formal claim process has strict deadlines. An experienced attorney can ensure your paperwork is filed correctly and on time, avoiding common mistakes that lead to delays.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. An experienced workers’ comp attorney can help you avoid missteps and get the benefits you’re entitled to.
Injuries You Can File a Workers’ Compensation Claim For
New Jersey workers experience a wide range of job-related injuries. If your condition is tied to your job duties or environment, it may qualify for benefits.
Workers across Burlington County often face job hazards tied to local industries. Employees in warehouses and distribution centers frequently experience lifting injuries, while healthcare professionals encounter back and shoulder strain from patient handling. Construction workers in communities like Mount Laurel and Moorestown are at higher risk for falls, equipment incidents, and traumatic injuries. Understanding these regional patterns helps us better advocate for the workers who keep this area running.

What Happens When Your Workers’ Compensation Benefits End
Temporary benefits may stop for several reasons, but not all terminations are justified. Understanding your rights can prevent financial hardship.
Ending Benefits
A carrier may stop benefits if a doctor finds you are able to return to work or that you have reached maximum medical improvement. If this does not match your condition, legal intervention may be needed.
Attempts to Reduce Benefits
Insurance companies sometimes try to lower benefits by challenging your treatment or arguing that additional care is unnecessary.
Signs of Claim Modification
Requests for new evaluations, surveillance, or extra IMEs may signal an attempt to change or reduce your benefits.
Reopening a Claim
If your condition worsens, you may be allowed to reopen your case within a specific time frame. This requires medical support and proper filings.

Straightforward Answers to Workers’ Comp Questions
Do I have to see the company doctor?
Often, yes at first. The insurance carrier typically chooses the authorized treating physician. If you are not receiving proper care, a lawyer can request additional treatment or a change in provider.
What is an Independent Medical Examination (IME)?
An IME is a medical evaluation arranged by the insurance company. The doctor evaluates your condition and issues a report that may influence your benefits. An attorney can prepare you and challenge inaccurate findings.
How long do I have to file a formal claim in New Jersey?
You generally have two years from the date of the injury or the last payment of benefits to file a Claim Petition. Speaking with a lawyer early helps avoid deadline problems.
What if my employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance?
If your employer is uninsured, you may qualify for benefits through the state’s Uninsured Employer’s Fund. These cases are more complicated and often require legal assistance.
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim?
New Jersey law prohibits employers from retaliating against you for seeking workers’ compensation benefits.
Can I also pursue a personal injury claim?
Sometimes. While workers’ comp prevents lawsuits against your employer, you may have a claim against a negligent third party. A lawyer can help you understand all available options.
Denied, Delayed, or Undervalued? Let’s Fix That Today.
Many workers fear losing income before they are medically ready to return to work. Insurance companies know this and sometimes use it to pressure injured employees into low settlements.
You do not have to face these decisions alone. Stan will review your case, explain your options, and build a plan that protects your medical care and income.
