What You’re Entitled To Under New York Workers’ Compensation Law
With an experienced attorney on your side, you may be eligible for compensation that covers:
Medical Benefits
All reasonable and necessary treatments related to your workplace injury—hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription medications—should be covered in full.
Disability Benefits
- Temporary Disability: Weekly wage replacement (~66% of your regular pay) during recovery.
- Permanent Disability:
- Partial: Compensated based on your disability rating, age, occupation, and ongoing earning capacity.
- Total: Liability if you are permanently unable to return to any suitable work, potentially resulting in lifetime benefits.
Lost Wages
If you miss work due to injury, you're owed compensation for the income you would have earned.
Death & Funeral Benefits
In tragic cases of a workplace fatality, eligible surviving family members can receive funeral cost coverage and death benefits.
Common Injuries We Handle
We regularly represent clients suffering from:
- Repetitive stress injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Back, shoulder, knee, or muscle strains
- Cuts, nerve damage, and puncture wounds
- Occupational diseases or conditions exacerbated by work conditions
- Pre-existing conditions aggravated by workplace activity
We also assist workers who were misclassified as independent contractors, helping determine eligibility when the work relationship resembles that of an employee.
We Also Handle:
- Employer or insurer denials
- Wrongful termination or retaliation
- Challenges to your disability rating
- Third-party lawsuits (e.g. equipment manufacturers) alongside your workers' comp claim
Step-by-Step: How to Protect Your Rights & File a Claim
- Report your injury immediately — ideally on the same day. You have 30 days, but early reporting ensures documentation.
- Seek medical attention from a provider authorized by your employer’s workers’ comp insurance.
- Document everything — hospital visits, medical records, receipts, emails, witness statements.
- Contact a workers’ comp attorney — we’ll guide the claim process, recommend independent medical evaluations if necessary, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Returning to Work Safely
When your doctor authorizes you to return:
- Continue following your treatment plan
- Request workplace accommodations if needed
- Don't push through pain—ask for help or modified duties
- Stay in touch with your attorney about any issues that arise
