How to Get Workers’ Comp
To obtain workers’ comp benefits in Camden, state law requires you to give notice of your claim to your employer within 14 days of being injured on the job to be eligible for benefits from the date that you sustained a work injury. However, notice must be provided no later than 90 days after a work injury to maintain workers’ compensation eligibility. A worker can provide notice of their claim to a supervisor, HR representative, or any other manager or officer. Notice can be oral or written, although many employers will have formal claim paperwork for an employee to fill out to give notice of their workers’ compensation claim.
An employer who is notified of an employee’s workers’ compensation claim must accept or deny the claim within 60 days. The employer must also file the first report of injury with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation. An injured employee who is denied workers’ comp benefits or has their benefits prematurely terminated must file a written claim petition with the Division for a claim hearing with a workers’ compensation judge. Claims may take the form of an informal mediation with their employer, or a formal, trial-like hearing where the compensation judge issues a binding ruling. A claim petition also allows an injured worker to obtain financial compensation for their permanent injury or disability.

About Camden, NJ
Camden is a city located in and is the county seat of Camden County, New Jersey. Camden is located on the banks of the Delaware River, directly across from Philadelphia, PA. Camden was named in honor of Charles Pratt, 1st Earl of Camden, an English judge who was a proponent of civil rights. For much of the 20th century, Camden was a notable industrial city, until the 1970s when manufacturers began shutting down their plants in the city. Today, Camden is one of New Jersey’s education and medical hubs, hosting multiple university campuses and hospitals.
According to OSHA, over the past five years, Camden has had two fatal work-related accidents in the city, both of which occurred when workers were struck by falling or swinging objects/equipment.
