How workers' comp is run in New Jersey
New Jersey's system is run by the Division of Workers' Compensation in the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The Division's worker FAQs cover notice, medical care and filing.
When there's a dispute, the worker can file either a formal Claim Petition or an Application for an Informal Hearing with the Division. According to the Division's page on navigating disputes, the case is assigned to a judge and a district office based on the worker's county of residence, or the employer's county if the worker lives out of state.
What to screen for in New Jersey
Notice to the employer
The Division's worker FAQs say the worker should notify the employer as soon as possible, and that notice doesn't have to be in writing. Intake should record the exact date and how notice was given.
Filing with the Division
The FAQs say a formal Claim Petition must be filed within two years of the date of injury or the last payment of compensation, whichever is later, and that medical treatment authorized by the employer counts as a payment of compensation. For occupational illness, the two years run from when the worker became aware of the condition and its link to work. Filing an Application for an Informal Hearing doesn't stop the two-year clock.
Doctor rules
The FAQs say the employer and/or its insurance carrier can select the health care providers who treat the work injury.

What every New Jersey workers' comp lead includes
The injured worker fills in our form themselves. Each lead includes:
- Whether they were injured while working
- Employment status
- Injury date
- State and ZIP code
- Whether the injury was reported to the employer
- Medical treatment so far
- Injury details, in their own words
- Whether they already have an attorney
- An SMS-verified phone number
- A TrustedForm certificate
Leads that don't match your filters aren't sent. The TrustedForm certificate records the form session and the consent to be contacted, and the SMS check confirms the phone number. Our TrustedForm and lead verification guide explains how to read both.
