Workers' Compensation

In New York State most workers who are injured on the job have the right to seek Workers' Compensation benefits. Workers' compensation benefits take the form of fixed weekly payments that help cover lost wages and medical expenses. These funds come from a Workers' Compensation insurance fund that all employers are required to pay in to - not from your employer itself. An attorney will help you file the paperwork for a claim, represent you at a hearing related to your claim, and ensure timely delivery of your benefits.

Personal Injury and Social Security Disability

If you are unable to work because of an injury or illness, there are several ways to help you receive help with your lost wages and medical expenses. If you cannot work because of an accident that was the result of the carelessness of another party, an attorney can help you hold the responsible parties accountable and help you recoup damages from the injury. If you cannot work because of a mental or physical illness an attorney can help you file a claim for Social Security Disability benefits. You are eligible for these benefits if you have paid in to the Social Security Fund and earned sufficient credits. Most first claims for Social Security Benefits are denied, but an attorney can help increase the odds of success or prepare your appeal.
