If you are a Target employee who was injured in a workplace accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and related expenses. At the Law Office of Stan Gregory, we focus on assisting injured workers who have been injured on the job, including Target workers. If your work accident happened at Target, our team of experienced workers’ compensation lawyers will fight to protect your legal rights and will work to secure the benefits and compensation you deserve for your work injury.
Did You Suffer a Workplace Accident at Target?
Under New Jersey law, employers are required to carry workers’ comp insurance. However, the Target Corporation is self-insured. If a work accident happens, you can make a claim as long as you are an employee who was injured while in the scope of your employment.
How Big Box Stores Handle Injury Claims
When it comes to a large retail store such as Target, the workers’ compensation claims process can be complex and overwhelming. A Target workers’ comp claim is handled by Sedgwick Claims Management Services, a third-party claims administrator (TPA). In short, a Sedgwick adjuster will manage a Target workers’ compensation claim like a regular workers’ compensation insurance company.
Filing for Workers’ Compensation as a Target Employee
Filing for workers’ compensation as a Target employee requires following specific procedures and meeting deadlines. Specifically, New Jersey law requires you to provide written notice to Target within 90 days of your work accident. Stan Gregory and his legal team will gather the necessary documentation, file the appropriate paperwork, and ensure your Target workers’ comp claim is prepared and filed on time.
Common Injuries for Target Employees
Working at Target involves various tasks and responsibilities which can put employees at risk of injury from a work accident. Common injuries suffered by Target employees due to workplace hazards include:
- Suffering an injury after being struck by a heavy object such as refrigerator units.
- Suffering an injury from slipping and falling in a parking lot due to uneven parking lot surfaces
- Slipping and falling on wet floors while helping customers
- Tripping and falling in a parking lot with loose curbs
- Back and shoulder injuries from lifting heavy objects to different departments
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Being struck by trucks driving through parking lots at a high rate of speed
If you have suffered any of these injuries while executing your regular job responsibilities at Target, our workers’ compensation lawyers can assist you in pursuing a claim.
Available Benefits After Suffering a Workplace Injury in a Target
Under New Jersey law, you can seek Temporary or Partial Disability benefits to replace your lost wages. New Jersey law also requires Target to pay for your medical treatment. If your workplace accident caused you to suffer a permanent injury, you can seek either Permanent Partial Disability benefits or Permanent Total Disability benefits. You can seek death benefits if you had a loved one who suffered fatal work related injuries due to a Target work accident.
