How Stan Gregory Helps You Get the Benefits You Deserve

After an injury, your focus should be on getting better, not decoding claim forms or arguing with an adjuster. Stan Gregory carries the legal weight so you don’t have to.

Every Burlington County work-injury claim is heard at the Mount Holly Workers’ Compensation Court on High Street, and Stan has spent his career in front of the judges who sit there. He knows the bench, the defense firms the insurers hire, and the medical examiners they lean on. Many of the workers he represents commute from Browns Mills, Pemberton, and the townships that border the base.

As your advocate, he will:

Start with a clear read of your claim and the medical proof it needs to hold up
File everything correctly and on time, so the insurer has no easy reason to deny
Handle every call, letter, and hearing, and stand in for you before the judge in Mount Holly
Push for the full benefits New Jersey law allows, not the discounted figure the insurer offers first
Step in the moment a claim is denied, delayed, or underpaid

The insurance company only profits by paying you less. Stan’s job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.

What Clients in Fort Dix Are Saying About Their Experience

Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits Explained

New Jersey offers several types of workers’ comp benefits, and which ones you qualify for depends on your injury. Some injuries caused by a third party can also support a separate personal injury claim, which Stan can pursue alongside your comp case.

Lost Wages

Miss more than seven days of work from a job-related injury and you may receive up to 70% of your average weekly wages, capped at 75% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage. Payments continue until you return to work or reach maximum recovery.

Medical Expenses

Workers' comp covers all necessary and reasonable treatment for a job-related injury or illness. That includes hospitalization, surgery, therapy, medication, and aids like a wheelchair, up to maximum medical improvement.

Permanent Total or Partial Disability Benefits

If your injury leaves you permanently impaired, you may qualify for added compensation. Partial disability covers loss or damage to a body part, while total disability applies when you can no longer work at all.

Death Benefits

If a worker dies from a job-related injury or illness, their dependents may qualify for ongoing support and up to $3,500 in funeral costs. Contact Stan Gregory to find out whether you qualify as a dependent.

Accidents Covered by Workers' Compensation

Workers’ compensation covers far more than one-time accidents. Around Fort Dix, most claims come from the warehouse, distribution, and trucking work that supplies Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, along with the trades and services that keep the area running.

Muscular Injuries

Strains, sprains, and tears from heavy lifting, falls, or being struck by objects are the most common claims. They hit hardest among the crews loading and moving freight along the Route 68 and Route 206 corridors.

Traumatic Injuries

Machinery and motor-vehicle accidents can cause fractures, head injuries, or spinal cord damage. Our Bordentown workers' compensation lawyer handles the same machine and vehicle claims we see near the Turnpike Exit 7 interchange.

Occupational Illnesses

Illnesses from exposure to hazardous substances or unsafe conditions are compensable under New Jersey law. They often surface among grounds, maintenance, and agricultural workers in North Hanover and the rural townships that ring the base.

Mental Health Conditions

Work-related stress and trauma can be as disabling as a physical injury. New Jersey treats these conditions as compensable when they are properly documented.

Straight Answers for Injured Workers Near Fort Dix

Are civilian and contractor workers at Fort Dix covered by New Jersey workers' comp?

It depends on your employer. If you work for a private contractor, subcontractor, or vendor on or around the base, you’re generally covered by New Jersey workers’ compensation, and Stan can represent you. Federal civil-service employees fall under a separate federal system with different rules. If you’re unsure which applies to you, call and Stan will help you sort it out before you file.

Where will my workers' comp hearing be held if I'm injured near Fort Dix?

Burlington County claims are heard at the Mount Holly Workers’ Compensation Court on High Street. Stan’s office is minutes away, and he appears there regularly.

How long do I have to report a work injury in New Jersey?

Report it to your employer as soon as you can. You generally have up to 90 days to give notice, and two years from the injury to file a formal claim. The sooner you report, the sooner benefits can start and the harder it is for an insurer to dispute your claim.

Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim in NJ?

No. New Jersey law prohibits retaliation against workers who file claims or miss work due to a job-related injury. If your employer threatens or penalizes you, contact Stan immediately.

Are workers' compensation benefits taxed as income in NJ?

No. Workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey are not taxed as income, regardless of the amount or benefit type.

Let Stan Gregory Handle the Insurance Company

You can file a claim on your own. But the insurer won’t be on its own. It will have adjusters and attorneys whose job is to pay you as little as possible.
