Workers' Compensation Overview
Recover Money and Benefits for Your Work-Related Injury or Illness
Anyone can be injured or become ill because of their job. It doesn't matter whether you sit behind a desk, work on a production line or deliver pizzas for a living. To protect employers from the threat of lawsuits, and to ensure that injured workers get the money and the benefits they deserve, states across the nation have created workers' compensation systems.
Unfortunately, most injured workers do not understand what their rights are, what they need to do to collect the money and benefits they deserve and need, or that their employers and workers' compensation insurers may not have their best interests in mind.
If your work-related injury or illness was due to an accident or someone else's wrongdoing, you may be entitled to more money than just workers' compensation or SSD benefits. Call our workers' compensation claim lawyers in New York now at 888-801-1914. Don't settle just for SSD or workers' compensation benefits. Let us get you the money and benefits that you deserve and need through an additional third-party claim.
Don't try to "tough it out" because you're worried about what others will think. If you don't notify your employer of an injury or illness and you fail to file a claim in a timely manner, you may not be able to get the compensation you are entitled to for medical expenses and lost wages.
Protect Your Rights in Your Workers' Compensation Claim
If the workers' compensation system exists for the benefit of employees and employers alike, you might be questioning why you would need a lawyer to obtain money and benefits. In a perfect world, you wouldn't.
Unfortunately, the workers' compensation system is not usually simple or easy to navigate. In fact — as many of the millions of workers filing claims each year discover — there are often significant delays, administrative hurdles, and employer- or insurer-related obstacles to overcome.
