What to Do After a Workplace Injury in Deptford and Gloucester County
If you were hurt on the job in Deptford or anywhere in Gloucester County, understanding how a New Jersey workers’ compensation claim progresses can protect both your health and your benefits.
Report the Injury
Notify your employer right away. Prompt notice helps protect your benefits. Document what happened, list witnesses, and keep a copy of the report.
Medical Authorization and Treatment
Your employer or its carrier typically chooses the authorized treating physician. Treatment outside that network may not be covered without approval.
Insurance Carrier Review
The carrier reviews medical records, accident details, and wage information to determine eligibility under state law.
Temporary Disability Benefits
If you miss more than seven days of work, you may receive temporary disability payments based on a percentage of your average weekly wage, subject to limits.
Independent Medical Examination (IME)
The insurer may schedule an IME with a doctor it selects to assess work-relatedness, treatment needs, return-to-work status, and Maximum Medical Improvement. Conflicting opinions can impact benefits.
Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
MMI means your condition has stabilized. The focus then shifts to evaluating permanent disability, which affects case value.
Resolution Through Settlement or Award
Claims resolve through settlement or formal award before the Division of Workers’ Compensation, often by Section 20 lump sum or Section 22 award with limited reopening rights.

Worried About Your Claim? Start With These Answers
Is there a limit to workers’ comp benefits in NJ?
Yes, usually 400 weeks of payments. However, if you require additional medical care or are permanently impaired or disabled, you may receive additional benefits beyond this limit.
My workers' comp claim was not fully paid, what should I do?
You need an experienced Tabernacle workers’ comp attorney to fight back and get you your full benefits. Insurance companies frequently underpay claims hoping you will just settle for what you get, unfortunately. Don’t worry – we can help you.
What do I do if my employer does not have workers’ comp insurance?
New Jersey’s uninsured employer fund will pay you workers’ comp benefits if you need and are eligible for them. As for your employer, know that New Jersey law requires most employers to purchase workers’ compensation insurance. If your employer does not have the required coverage, they will be subject to heavy fines and perhaps imprisonment.

It is. If you have maxed out your workers’ comp benefits but still from your illness or injury, you may have grounds to file for disability benefits. Contact us – we can help you get the maximum benefits under the programs that apply to your situation.
