What To Do When You’re Injured At Work

An on-the-job injury disrupts more than your health, it impacts your income, your family, and your peace of mind. Sadly, some employers in New Jersey try to minimize claims by discouraging treatment or pushing employees to use sick time instead of filing for benefits. Protect yourself by following these steps:

Get Medical Attention

Always seek medical treatment right away. Insurers often argue that delays mean your injury isn’t serious. Prompt care ensures your health is protected and provides the documentation your claim needs.

Submit A Report Of Your Injuries

Under NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-17, you must report your injury within 14 days. Failing to do so can jeopardize your claim, unless your employer already knew about the accident. Report it immediately to avoid disputes later.

Review The Status Of Your Claim

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by paperwork and deadlines. The Law Office of Stan Gregory keeps your claim on track, handling filings, updates, and disputes so you can focus on your recovery.

Available Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Collingswood, New Jersey

New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system provides vital protections for injured employees. To qualify, your injury must occur while performing job-related duties (NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-1). Benefits may include:

Lost Wages

Workers’ comp replaces lost income while you’re unable to work. These benefits are crucial for families relying on a steady paycheck.

Medical Expenses

New Jersey law (NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-15) requires workers’ comp to cover all necessary treatment related to your injury, from doctor visits to surgery and rehabilitation.

Temporary Disability Benefits

When injuries lead to lasting impairment, you may qualify for partial or total disability benefits under NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-36.

Permanent Disability Benefits

When injuries lead to lasting impairment, you may qualify for partial or total disability benefits under NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-36.

Death Benefits

If a work-related accident or illness results in the loss of a loved one, dependents may qualify for death benefits (NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-13).

Social Security Disability Benefits

Some workers may collect both SSDI and workers’ comp. However, combined benefits cannot exceed 80% of pre-injury wages.

Public Employee Disability Benefits

Public employees may receive additional protections under NJ Rev Stat § 43:15A-25.1, though workers’ comp benefits are reduced when disability benefits are paid.

Workplace Accidents Covered By Workers’ Compensation

From Collingswood’s restaurants and retail shops to Camden County’s construction and healthcare jobs, work injuries are common across industries. Workers’ comp covers:

Muscular Injuries

Sprains, strains, and repetitive stress injuries may seem minor but often require weeks of treatment or therapy. Insurers frequently dispute these claims, making it critical to have a workers’ compensation attorney advocate for you.

Traumatic Injuries

Falls, machinery accidents, and vehicle crashes can cause serious, life-changing injuries. These claims often involve extensive medical care and wage replacement.

Occupational Illnesses

Exposure to chemicals, dust, or hazardous work conditions can lead to long-term illness. NJ law (NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-31) ensures occupational disease claims are covered.

Mental Health Conditions

Workplace trauma and chronic stress can have a lasting effect. New Jersey law recognizes valid mental health claims under workers’ comp, giving employees the right to support and treatment.

Other Forms of Workers' Compensation Cases We Handle

What Happens When Workers’ Comp Benefits End?

Workers’ comp benefits don’t always last indefinitely. They may end or change depending on your circumstances.

Benefits That Are Terminated

Employers or insurers may try to end benefits if they claim you’ve recovered or haven’t followed medical advice.

Benefits That Are Modified

Under NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-27, benefits can be reduced if exams show improvement.

Know the Signs of a Petition for Modification

Surveillance, repeated requests for exams, or sudden changes to your treatment plan may signal that your employer is preparing to modify your benefits.

Benefits That Are Suspended

Employers may seek suspension if they allege fraud (NJ Rev Stat § 34:15-57.4).

How to Challenge Suspended Benefits

To fight a suspension, you’ll need strong evidence to disprove allegations. Stan Gregory’s team will help you build your case.

When Workers’ Compensation Is Reinstated

If your condition worsens after reaching maximum medical improvement, you may reopen your claim within two years of your last benefit payment.
