What Our Clients Say After Working With Stan

What Should I Do If I’m Injured in a Workplace Accident?

In New Jersey’s no-fault system, you do not have to prove fault or sue anyone to receive benefits. Acting fast protects your claim, especially if symptoms surface later. Follow these steps.

Seek Medical Care

Get treatment right away. It protects your health and builds the record your claim depends on. If you are not covered under FECA, your employer picks the doctor for the first 30 days before you can choose your own.

Report Your Injury

Tell your supervisor in writing within 14 days, even if you are unsure how serious the injury is. A late report can bar your claim, and this keeps distribution-center and factory injuries covered when they worsen over time, whether they happened in Lumberton or on a job in nearby Eastampton.

Gather Your Evidence

Save pay stubs, incident reports, and medical bills, and note any coworkers who witnessed the accident.

Check Your Claim Status

Watch for requests for added documents or an insurer medical exam. We monitor filings and keep your case moving so nothing stalls.

Talk to a Lawyer Early

The sooner we step in, the harder it is for the insurer to deny, delay, or underpay you. The consultation is free.

Benefits You Can Claim After a Work Injury

Lost Wages

Lost-wage benefits replace paychecks missed from the accident until you return to work, paid weekly at 70% of your average weekly wage. They are capped at 75% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) and floored at 20%.

Medical Expenses

Workers' compensation covers the treatment you need to recover, including hospitalization, surgery, therapy, and prescriptions. Some care carries session limits, but your physician can document the need for more.

Disability Benefits

Temporary Total Disability pays 70% of your pre-injury wages for up to 400 weeks if your injury keeps you out for more than seven days. If the injury is permanent, you may also seek a permanency award based on its severity, your earnings, and the part of the body affected.

Death Benefits

If a worker dies from a job injury, dependents receive a lump-sum payment plus $3,500 toward funeral expenses. Under NJ law, "dependents" is interpreted broadly, so call 609-281-5100 if you are unsure whether you qualify.

Accidents Covered by Workers’ Comp in Lumberton, NJ

Workers’ compensation covers far more than one-time accidents. These are the most common work injuries we see across Lumberton and Burlington County.

Musculoskeletal Injuries

Strains, sprains, and broken bones from heavy lifting, falls, or being struck by equipment are the claims we see most, especially among warehouse and distribution workers along the Route 38 corridor. We handle these cases across Lumberton and neighboring Hainesport.

Traumatic Injuries

Machinery and vehicle accidents can cause fractures, head injuries, or spinal cord damage, a real risk for delivery drivers and tradespeople on Route 541 and the Route 38 interchanges. We pursue the same machine and vehicle claims for workers commuting in from Medford.

Occupational Illnesses

Illnesses from exposure to hazardous substances or unsafe conditions are compensable under New Jersey law, from respiratory disorders to occupational cancers. That includes workers on the farms, nurseries, and small worksites across rural neighbors like Southampton.

Mental Health Conditions

Work-related stress and trauma can be as disabling as a physical injury. New Jersey treats a qualifying condition as compensable when it stems from a distinct stressor at work.

Other Forms of Workers' Compensation Cases We Handle

When Workers' Comp Benefits End

Even after benefits begin, they can end on a legal timeline or be cut for cause. Knowing what triggers a change helps you push back.

Terminated, Modified, or Suspended Benefits

Benefits can be terminated if you recover enough to work, or cut for ignoring medical advice or missing appointments. Insurers may also reduce or suspend them over refused treatment, fraud, or doubts about your claim, and we litigate when a move is unfair.

Reopening a Closed Claim

If your benefits ended and your condition later worsens, you may reopen the claim with medical proof. You must file within two years of your last payment, so act before the window closes.

Lumberton Workers' Comp Questions We Hear Most

I was hurt working through a staffing agency at a Lumberton warehouse. Whose insurance pays?

Temporary and staffing-agency workers are usually covered by the staffing agency’s workers’ compensation policy, though the host employer can share responsibility depending on the arrangement. We sort out which insurer is on the hook so your claim does not stall between two companies.

My employer says I'm an independent contractor. Can I still file a claim?

Maybe. Misclassification is common, and New Jersey looks at how the work is actually controlled, not just the label on your paperwork. If you were treated like an employee, you may be entitled to benefits, and we can help prove it.

I was injured driving for work on Route 38. Is that covered?

Often, yes. Injuries during work-related travel are generally compensable, unlike an ordinary commute. If you were running a delivery, traveling between job sites, or otherwise on the clock, your accident may qualify.

Will I have to travel far for my workers' comp hearing?

No. Burlington County work-injury claims are heard at the Mt. Holly Workers’ Compensation Court, a short drive from Lumberton and the same town as our office. That local footing means less travel for you and a lawyer who appears there routinely.

Can my employer fire me for filing a workers' comp claim?

New Jersey prohibits retaliating against a worker for filing a legitimate claim. If you are demoted, fired, or pressured after reporting an injury, contact us and we will address it.

Injured on the Job in Lumberton? Put Stan Gregory in Your Corner

Insurers make money when your claim is denied, delayed, or underpaid. You can file on your own, but a lawyer levels the field against the legal teams built to reduce your payout.

If your employer has no coverage, you may need to file a personal injury claim against them directly, and we can guide that too.

Do not let the benefits you are owed slip away. Call Stan Gregory at 609-281-5100.
