Why Springfield Workers Choose the Law Office of Stan R. Gregory

When you are hurt on the job in Springfield Township, your claim does not stay in Jobstown. Every Burlington County work injury, whether on a farm off Route 206, near the Burlington County Fairgrounds, or on duty at Fort Dix or elsewhere on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, is decided at the Mount Holly Workers’ Compensation Court on High Street, a courtroom we are in constantly, before the same judges and against the same insurers.

That local footing shapes how your case is handled:

We are in the courtroom that decides your claim. Stan Gregory has represented injured New Jersey workers for more than 30 years before the Mount Holly compensation judges, so a Springfield case is home territory, not an unfamiliar venue.
A Burlington County practice, not a statewide call center. From Juliustown and Jacksonville to the farmland around Arneys Mount, Springfield claims run through Mount Holly, the same county seat that hears injuries from neighboring Mansfield, Pemberton, and Wrightstown. You are not routed to an out-of-area firm learning the courthouse on your time.
You work directly with Stan Gregory. The attorney who evaluates your claim is the one who argues it, not a rotating roster of associates.
No fee unless we recover your benefits. We take cases on contingency and the first consultation is free, so answers cost you nothing out of pocket.
Built around how Springfield works. Farm and nursery labor in the Pinelands, warehouse and trucking work along Route 206, and jobs tied to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst each carry their own injuries, and we handle the authorization fights, wage disputes, and denials that stall these claims.

Stan Gregory earned his law degree from St. Thomas University School of Law and has practiced before the New Jersey Bar since 1993, standing between injured workers and the insurers that profit by delaying or underpaying claims. If your benefits have been delayed, denied, or cut short after a Springfield work injury, call 609-281-5100 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits You May Be Entitled To

New Jersey workers’ compensation can replace income, cover treatment, and protect your family after a job injury. These are the main benefits at stake, and where disputes tend to start.

Lost Wages (Temporary Disability)

Replaces about 70% of your average weekly wage while you recover, starting after the seventh missed day and running until you return to work or reach maximum medical improvement.

Medical Expenses

Covers treatment tied to your injury, from surgery and prescriptions to therapy, though in New Jersey the insurer usually picks the treating doctor.

Permanent Disability Benefits

Paid when an injury leaves lasting impairment, partial if you can still work in some capacity and total if you cannot, with the amount keyed to the body part and severity.

Ongoing Care and Rehabilitation

Keeps covering rehabilitation, follow-up therapy, and assistive devices for as long as they stay medically necessary.

Social Security and Pension Offsets

Collecting Social Security Disability, or a public disability pension as a township or school employee, can reduce your award once the combined total passes set limits.

Death Benefits

Gives qualifying dependents weekly payments based on a share of the worker's wages, plus funeral costs up to the state cap.

What Working With Us Has Meant to Clients in Springfield

How to Handle a Workplace Injury

What you do after a work injury can affect the strength of your claim. Taking the right steps early can help protect your health, your income, and your ability to recover benefits.

Get Medical Care

Start by getting medical attention as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can make it harder to recover and may also give the insurer room to question how serious the injury is.

Document & Report Your Injury

Report the injury to your employer right away and keep clear records of what happened, when it happened, and what symptoms followed. Strong documentation can make a disputed claim easier to support.

Review What Happens Next

Once the injury has been reported, it is important to track what the employer and insurer do next. If treatment is delayed, benefits do not start, or the claim status is unclear, early review can help prevent bigger problems.

What To Do If Your Workers Comp Claim Was Denied

A denied claim does not always mean the matter is over. In many cases, there are still ways to challenge the decision and pursue benefits.

Get Clear Answers Before the Insurance Company Controls the Story

Getting legal advice early can help you protect your claim and avoid mistakes that are harder to fix later.

Common Reasons For Denial

Even in a no-fault system, carriers may deny claims based on horseplay, intoxication, wilful misconduct, or disputes over how the injury happened. We can review the denial and challenge weak reasoning.

Filing an Appeal

If your claim was denied, you may have the right to appeal. Our office can help gather the records, build the argument, and push for the benefits you should be receiving.

Workers' Compensation Coverage

Most employees are covered for injuries and illnesses that arise out of and during the course of their work. That can include sudden accidents as well as conditions that develop over time.

Musculoskeletal Injuries

Strains, sprains, fractures, and back injuries are common in workers’ compensation claims. These cases often involve ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work.

Occupational Illnesses

Some claims involve illnesses caused by workplace conditions, repeated exposure, or hazardous materials, including the chemicals and equipment common to farm work in rural townships like Chesterfield. These cases can be harder to prove, but they may still qualify for benefits.

Traumatic Injuries

Serious accidents involving machinery, falls, or construction work, the kind common on the warehouse and distribution sites along the Route 130 corridor near Florence, can lead to life-changing harm. These claims often require stronger evidence and closer attention to long-term limitations.

Mental Health Conditions

Workers’ compensation may also apply when a mental health condition is tied to work-related trauma or severe stress. These claims can be complex and often need careful medical support.

Other Forms of Workers' Compensation Cases We Handle

When Workers Comp Benefits Stop

Some benefits end naturally, while others may be reduced, suspended, or challenged before you expect.

Termination of Benefits

Benefits cannot be cut off without a basis. They may end if you are found fit to return to work, or if the insurer claims you failed to attend an exam or follow medical advice.

Modification of Benefits

In some cases, benefits may be reduced rather than terminated. That can happen if an employer claims your refusal to accept medical treatment affected the case.

Signs of Petition for Modification

A request for another exam or more treatment may signal an effort to reduce benefits. If that happens, we can step in early and challenge the change before it creates more financial pressure.

Suspension of Benefits

Benefits may be suspended if an employer claims fraud or alleges you were untruthful about your medical history.

Challenging Workers’ Compensation Suspension

If benefits are suspended, we can gather the evidence needed to challenge the allegations being used to cut them off.

Reinstatement of Workers’ Comp Benefits

You can file a petition to reopen your claim If your workers’ compensation benefits have been terminated due to you reaching maximum medical improvement. The petition must be filed within two years from the date you were last paid benefits. Your petition must include evidence proving your injury has worsened.

Questions People Often Have After a Work Injury

Are part-time, seasonal, and farm workers in Springfield Township covered?

Yes. New Jersey workers’ compensation covers part-time and seasonal employees, including farm and nursery labor common around the Pinelands, and eligibility does not depend on your immigration status.

Do you handle work injuries at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst?

Yes, for people employed by private contractors and businesses on or near the base, including the parts that reach into New Hanover. Federal civilian employees usually fall under the separate federal FECA system, and we can point you in the right direction.

Can I choose my own doctor after a Springfield work injury?

Usually not at the start. Your employer or its insurer has the right to direct authorized treatment in New Jersey. If that care is delayed or clearly not helping, we can challenge it.

My employer is based outside Springfield. Can I still file in New Jersey?

Often yes. Where you live, where the injury happened, and where your employer operates all affect a New Jersey claim, so it is worth getting guidance early.

How long do I have to file a workers' comp claim in New Jersey?

Generally two years from the date of injury or your last benefit payment, whichever is later. Reporting the injury to your employer promptly helps protect that right.

You Should Not Have to Fight for Benefits While You’re Trying to Heal

A work injury can put pressure on every part of your life at once, from your paycheck to your treatment to your peace of mind. If you are getting delays or mixed answers after an on-the-job injury, call 609-281-5100 for a free, no-obligation consultation.
