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.
Investigation by the Insurance Carrier
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. Deptford and Gloucester County claims are not heard locally; they go to the Camden vicinage court on Riverside Drive, so familiarity with that office and its judges matters.

Why Injured Workers in Deptford Choose Stan Gregory
A workers’ comp claim is usually lost when the carrier steers you to its own doctor, orders an IME to dispute your injury, or pushes you back to work too soon. Stan has spent his career countering those tactics for South Jersey workers.
What sets his representation apart:
- Trusted by the state to hold other attorneys accountable. Stan serves as a Panel Chair on the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics, District IIIB, presiding over misconduct hearings. He is held to the same standard he enforces, a level of accountability most workers’ comp firms cannot claim.
- He knows where Deptford workers get hurt. Many local injuries happen along the Route 42 and Route 55 retail corridor, from Deptford Mall to the big-box centers on Clements Bridge and Almonesson Road and the warehouses near the I-295 and I-76 interchange. Stan handles claims against employers like Amazon, Walmart, UPS, FedEx, and Target and knows how their carriers approach a Gloucester County claim.
- You work directly with Stan, and pay nothing unless he wins. You deal with the attorney himself, not an intake line. The consultation is free and there are no upfront fees.
Whether you were hurt in Deptford, West Deptford, Westville, or out toward the county seat in Woodbury, Stan can review your claim. Call 609-281-5100 for a free consultation.

Worried About Your Claim? Start With These Answers
I got hurt working at the Deptford Mall. Who covers my claim?
Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance covers you, whether you work for a store inside the mall or a staffing agency that placed you there. Report the injury to your manager right away so the claim starts on time.
Do warehouse and delivery workers along the Route 42 corridor qualify?
Yes. Employees at distribution centers and delivery companies are covered, including for repetitive-strain injuries to the back, shoulders, and knees from constant lifting and loading.
What if I was hurt driving for work on Route 42 or Route 55?
If you were driving as part of your job, the injury is generally covered. If another driver caused the crash, you may also have a separate injury claim against them on top of your comp benefits.
Can I get workers' comp if I was hurt commuting to my Deptford job?
Usually not. Ordinary commuting falls under New Jersey’s “going and coming” rule. There are exceptions, such as running an errand for your employer or traveling between job sites, so have your situation reviewed.
How long do I have to file a claim if I was hurt at a Deptford job?
You generally have two years from the date of injury or your last benefit payment to file a formal claim. Filing late can cost you benefits, so it helps to act early.
Don’t Let Delays or Denials Control Your Recovery
When you are hurt at work, uncertainty about medical care and missed income can add serious stress. If your benefits have been delayed, reduced, or questioned, take action.
