New Jersey Laws That Shape Your Case
Filing Deadline for Workers' Compensation Claims in New Jersey
In New Jersey, you must file your workers' compensation claim within two years from the date of your injury or from the date you became aware that your injury was work-related. Failing to file within this time frame may result in losing your right to receive compensation. It is crucial to act promptly and consult with a qualified attorney to ensure timely submission.

HOW IT WORKS
Our Process.
❖
STEP #1
Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation
At Mooring Law, your workers' compensation claim begins with a thorough initial consultation. We listen carefully to your situation, review your medical records, and assess the circumstances of your workplace injury. This evaluation allows us to determine the best course of action and ensure all necessary documentation is in order. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through the claim process efficiently, protecting your rights from the very start.
❖
STEP #2
Employer Notification
Formally notifying your employer of the injury. This crucial step requires you to report the incident as soon as possible, ideally within 30 days, to ensure your claim remains valid. Providing detailed information about how, when, and where the injury occurred helps your employer and the insurance company begin the investigation promptly. At Mooring Law, we guide you through this process to ensure all notifications comply with state deadlines and documentation requirements, protecting your rights throughout your claim.
❖
STEP #3
Litigation
The final process of a workers' compensation claim involves closing out your case once all benefits have been received or your situation has been resolved. At Mooring Law, we ensure all medical treatments, wage replacement, and settlement agreements are fully secured and properly documented. Our team will assist with final hearings or appeals if necessary and confirm that your rights are fully protected throughout. We help you understand any ongoing obligations or benefits and provide guidance on how to move forward confidently after your claim concludes.
