Gloucester City is a working waterfront community, and when serious injuries happen here — on the job, on the road, or on the river — you need a lawyer who knows this county, these courts, and what your claim is actually worth. Stopper Lopez LLC is approximately ten minutes from Gloucester City, and we have been representing injured workers and accident victims throughout Camden County for decades.
Practice Areas We Handle for Gloucester City Clients
Waterfront and Industrial Workplace Injuries
Gloucester Terminals LLC and the broader port operations along the Delaware River waterfront employ a significant portion of Gloucester City's workforce. Terminal workers, dock hands, and industrial laborers face injury risks that go well beyond a standard workplace accident — chemical exposure, heavy equipment failures, loading operations, and confined space incidents are all real hazards in this environment. Workers' compensation may cover your medical bills and lost wages, but it may not be the only claim available to you. Depending on how your injury occurred, a third-party negligence claim could also be on the table. A free consultation with our firm identifies every avenue before you make any decisions.
Car Accidents on Route 130, I-295, and Route 47
Route 130 runs directly through Gloucester City, and I-295 borders the city to the east — both are high-traffic corridors with a documented history of serious accidents. Route 47 also passes through the area. If you were hurt in a car accident on any of these roads, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries, your medical expenses, and your lost income. We handle auto accident claims throughout Camden County and know how insurers approach cases on these corridors. One call tells you where you stand.
Workers' Compensation Claims
If you were injured on the job in Gloucester City — whether at a terminal, a warehouse, a construction site, or anywhere else — New Jersey workers' compensation law entitles you to medical treatment and wage replacement benefits. When claims are disputed or denied, having an experienced attorney in your corner changes the outcome. We have handled workers' comp cases throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties, and we know how to push back when employers and insurers resist paying what you are owed.
Social Security Disability
A disabling injury or medical condition can end your ability to work, and the Social Security disability process is designed in ways that make it easy to be denied — especially the first time you apply. We represent Gloucester City residents at every stage of the SSDI and SSI process, including hearings before an administrative law judge. If you have been denied benefits or do not know where to start, we can help you understand your options at no upfront cost.
Ten Minutes Away, Decades of Camden County Experience
Our Cherry Hill office is a short drive from Gloucester City — close enough that meeting with us is easy, but more importantly, we practice regularly in Camden County Superior Court and before the NJ Division of Workers' Compensation. We know the local landscape: the employers, the courts, the judges, and the specific circumstances that shape injury cases in this part of South Jersey. That kind of local knowledge is not something a national firm or an out-of-area attorney can replicate.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions from Gloucester City Clients
I work at a terminal on the Gloucester City waterfront and got hurt on the job. Do I have a workers' comp claim, a personal injury claim, or both?
It depends on how the injury occurred and who was responsible. If your employer's negligence caused the injury, workers' compensation is typically the primary claim. But if a third party — a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another company operating on the site — contributed to the accident, a separate personal injury claim may also be available. A free consultation with our firm is the fastest way to identify every claim that applies to your situation.I was in a car accident on Route 130 in Gloucester City. How do I know if I have a strong case?
The strength of a car accident case depends on factors like fault, the severity of your injuries, and the insurance coverage involved. Route 130 is a heavily traveled commercial corridor, and accidents there often involve clear liability. We offer free case evaluations for auto accident victims throughout Camden County — one conversation gives you a realistic picture of what your case is worth and what the process looks like.Do I need to come to your office to get started, or can we handle things by phone?
We can begin with a phone consultation, and we will work with your schedule. Our Cherry Hill office is approximately ten minutes from Gloucester City, so meeting in person is straightforward if you prefer it. Either way, the initial consultation is free and there is no obligation to hire us.
