What You Should Do If You Are Injured at Work
There are three steps you must take if you suffer an injury or think there is a chance you might develop an injury or illness due to an incident or experience at work:
01
Report the Incident
Notify your supervisor or manager right away, even if the injury seems minor. Some symptoms take time to develop, and a documented report will strengthen your claim later.
02
See the Right Doctor
Unless you are protected under FECA, you must visit a doctor approved by your employer. This medical evaluation plays a major role in determining the benefits you receive.
03
File Your Workers’ Comp Claim
Once you have reported the injury and seen a doctor, you are ready to file your claim. An experienced attorney like Stan Gregory can make sure your paperwork is accurate and complete.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits You May Be Entitled To
Lost Wages
If your injury keeps you from working, you may receive up to 70% of your average weekly earnings. This benefit is capped at 75% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage and cannot fall below 20%.
Medical Expenses
Workers’ comp covers the cost of necessary and approved medical care. This can include doctor visits, surgery, prescriptions, rehabilitation, and hospital stays.
Temporary Partial Disability Benefits
If you can return to work but only in a reduced capacity, you may receive two-thirds of the difference between your pre-injury and post-injury wages.
Temporary Total Disability Benefits
If you cannot return to work at all during recovery, you may receive two-thirds of your average wages. Benefits begin after three missed days and may continue for up to 400 weeks or until you are cleared to return.
Permanent Partial Disability Benefits
If your injury causes permanent damage but you can still work, you may qualify for this benefit. It covers both scheduled losses, like missing digits or hearing loss, and unscheduled losses, such as damage to internal organs or your back.
Permanent Total Disability Benefits
This applies when your injury prevents you from returning to your job or any job in your field. Qualifying conditions may include total blindness or the loss of both arms or both legs.
Death Benefits
If a worker passes away due to a job-related injury or illness, dependents may qualify for financial support and funeral cost coverage. If you lost a loved one to a workplace injury, call Stan Gregory to see if you are eligible.

Workers’ compensation applies to more than just single-event injuries. Conditions that develop over time may also qualify. These include:

Common Questions About Workers’ Compensation In Hainesport, NJ
Is there a Limit to the Amount of Workers’ Comp Benefits I Can Get?
Yes. Generally, benefits cap out after 400 weeks of payments. Benefits may also stop when a doctor determines you are fully recovered.
Can I Contest it if My Claim was Only Partially Paid?
Yes! Depending on your situation and the specifics of your injury, you may be eligible for more benefits. Call Stan Gregory at 609-281-5100 to learn if you are being denied your full benefits.
Can I Still Get Benefits if My Employer Does Not Have Workers’ Comp Insurance?
Yes, through the NJ state uninsured employer system. New Jersey requires most employers to purchase workers’ comp insurance. Know that it is a class A misdemeanor for employers not to purchase insurance.
Is It Possible to Get Both Disability and Workers’ Comp Benefits?
Yes, it is possible to receive both social security disability and workers’ compensation. If you are unable to work due to your injury, disability covers you. However, if that injury was a workplace injury, you are also entitled to workers’ compensation.
