New York Workers Compensation Attorneys

You’ve been injured on the job. In addition to feeling scared about your prognosis, you’re angry, disoriented, confused. What are your rights? Will you get compensation for your injuries? Will you get the payment you deserve?

If you are injured while on the job, you are entitled to benefits. These benefits are called “workers’ compensation” (also known as “workman’s compensation”) payouts and are paid by monies employers pay into the state workers’ compensation system. Unfortunately, the workers’ compensation system is commonly misunderstood by many individuals and can be more complex than it looks. However, if you were injured on the job – even if you were working “under the table” or off the books or if you were denied medical treatment – you deserve and are entitled to workers’ compensation!

With rising insurance prices, employers’ insurers are trying harder and harder not to pay out the workers’ compensation benefits you are guaranteed by the law. Tactics used to cheat workers out of their rightful compensation include confusing them with the mammoth insurance bureaucracy, denying their claim based on technicalities, and authorizing inadequate care. Combine these tactics with recent changes to the New York workers’ compensation system, which has its own set of caps, payouts, and procedures, and you have a recipe for confusion.

If you’ve been injured on the job, don’t rely on your employer to look out for your best interests! It’s vital that you engage an experienced, aggressive NY workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible to negotiate with insurance companies and obtain the compensation you deserve.
