What Our Clients Say After Working With Stan

Why Injured New Hanover Workers Choose Stan Gregory

Securing workers’ compensation in New Jersey is rarely simple. Claims get delayed, treatment gets questioned, and adjusters push back. While you focus on healing, Stan Gregory handles the paperwork, the hearings, and the negotiations.

Here is what sets his representation apart:

More than 20 years spent solely on New Jersey injury and workers’ comp claims, not a general practice that dabbles.
Direct experience with the injuries common around New Hanover and neighboring North Hanover: warehouse and forklift accidents, repetitive strain, and construction site falls.
Familiarity with how claims for Burlington County workers move through the Mount Holly district office.
Clear guidance on whether your injury falls under state workers’ comp or the federal FECA system, which matters for many Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Fort Dix employees.
Contingency representation, so there is no fee unless you recover.

How to Handle a Workplace Injury

If you are hurt at work in New Hanover, four early steps protect both your health and your claim.

Report the Injury Right Away

Tell your employer the moment it happens, even if it seems minor, and put it in writing. Civilian staff at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst report through their personnel office, since federal workers fall under a different system.

See an Authorized Doctor

In New Jersey, your employer or its insurer usually picks the treating physician, and that doctor’s report drives your claim. Federal employees under FECA can choose their own.

Keep Your Own Records

Save incident reports, medical paperwork, and the names of any witnesses. Solid documentation protects you if the insurer later disputes what happened.

File Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Once reported and documented, the claim is filed under New Jersey’s no-fault system, so you never have to prove negligence. Insurers still push back, which is where Stan Gregory steps in for workers across New Hanover, Pemberton, and nearby townships.

New Hanover Workers’ Compensation Benefits

If your claim is approved, New Jersey workers’ comp can provide several types of benefits.

Lost Wages

You receive weekly payments equal to 70% of your average weekly wage. The payout cannot exceed 75% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) or fall below 20% of it. Payments run from the day you start missing work until you return.

Medical Expenses

Workers' comp covers most treatment tied to your injury: hospital stays, surgery, therapy, and prescriptions. Some care, like acupuncture, chiropractic, or physical therapy, may be capped at a set number of sessions, with more available if needed. Coverage starts at the injury and ends when a doctor reports full or partial recovery.

Disability Benefits

Depending on the severity and duration of your injury, you may qualify for temporary or permanent disability benefits. Temporary benefits pay two-thirds of your lost wages until you recover, capped at 400 weeks. Permanent benefits cover lasting damage, from the loss of a limb or eyesight to a disability that prevents you from working at all.

Death Benefits

If a workplace injury is fatal, the worker's dependents may receive benefits, and New Jersey defines dependents broadly. Call Stan Gregory to learn whether death benefits apply in your situation.

Accidents Covered by Workers' Compensation

Workers’ compensation covers far more than one-time accidents. These are the most common work injuries we see around New Hanover.

Muscular Injuries

Strains, sprains, and torn muscles from heavy lifting, falls, or being struck by equipment are among the most common claims, especially for warehouse, forklift, and freight workers along the Route 206 corridor and the Bordentown stretch of the NJ Turnpike.

Occupational Illnesses

Illnesses from exposure to hazardous substances, dust, or unsafe conditions are compensable under New Jersey law, including among the farm, nursery, and small-worksite workers across rural neighbors like Springfield.

Traumatic Injuries

Machinery and vehicle accidents can cause fractures, head injuries, or spinal damage, a real risk for delivery drivers and base logistics crews moving through Wrightstown and Cookstown. A Chesterfield workers' compensation lawyer handles the same machine and vehicle claims we see across New Hanover.

Mental Health Conditions

Work-related stress and trauma can be as disabling as a physical injury, and New Jersey treats these conditions as compensable.

Know Your Rights After a New Hanover Work Injury

Are injuries at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst covered by New Jersey workers' comp?

It depends on your employer. Federal civilian staff usually fall under FECA, a separate federal system, while private contractors, vendors, and off-base workers are generally covered by New Jersey workers’ comp. Stan Gregory can tell you which applies before you file.

How long do I have to file a workers' comp claim after a New Hanover workplace injury?

Report it to your employer as soon as possible. The formal statute of limitations in New Jersey is two years from the injury or your last authorized treatment. Waiting can cost you benefits.

Where are Burlington County workers' comp hearings held?

Claims for New Hanover workers are typically handled through the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation district office in Mount Holly, where Stan Gregory appears regularly.

What if I was hurt as a temp or seasonal worker at a warehouse near New Hanover?

Temporary and seasonal workers are still entitled to workers’ comp in New Jersey. The staffing agency, the host employer, or both may be responsible for your claim.

What if my New Hanover employer does not carry workers' comp insurance?

In New Jersey, failing to carry coverage is a serious offense. When it happens, your path may shift to a personal injury claim against the employer, which follows different rules. Choosing the right attorney matters even more in these cases.

Don't Let the Insurance Company Decide What Your Injury Is Worth

You are focused on healing. Meanwhile an adjuster is deciding how little to pay you. Stan Gregory has spent more than 20 years making sure New Hanover workers get what they are actually owed. Call 609-281-5100 for your free consultation.
