What to Do After a Work Injury in New Jersey
Notify your employer promptly and ask about medical treatment. The employer or workers' compensation insurer generally chooses the provider for work-related care. Keep copies of reports, messages, medical records and any instructions you receive. The New Jersey Department of Labor's worker FAQs explain these initial steps.
Benefits and Questions We Can Review
Workers' compensation may provide authorized medical care, temporary disability benefits for qualifying lost work time and permanent disability benefits when warranted. Eligibility and the benefits available depend on the facts and legal requirements.
Our consultation can address the particular concern that brought you here:
- An accident or injury your employer has not reported.
- Medical treatment that has been delayed or denied.
- Missing or disputed wage-replacement payments.
- Disagreement about whether your condition is work-related.
- Questions about work restrictions or returning to your job.

If Your Employer or Insurer Disputes the Claim
A denial is not necessarily the final answer. New Jersey offers an informal hearing application and a formal claim petition through the Division of Workers' Compensation. We can review the reason given for the denial, the records supporting your claim and the process appropriate to your situation.
Bring any denial letter or benefit notice to your consultation. We can discuss what the document says, what information is missing and the next steps available. Avoid guessing about a notice or letting an unanswered question keep you from contacting the firm.
What to Bring to a Consultation
- Your employer's name and your job duties.
- The injury date, or when work-related symptoms began.
- The claim number and insurer's contact details, if available.
- Medical reports, treatment requests and work restrictions.
- Pay records and the dates you missed work.
- Letters, emails or messages about the claim.
You can contact us before you have every document. Start with what you already have and tell us which questions concern you most.
