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.
