How Soon Should I Report My Injury?
You should report your injury to your employer as quickly as possible—ideally within 30 days. Waiting too long can hurt your chances of receiving benefits. After reporting your injury or injuries, contact our workers’ compensation lawyers to help you take the next steps.
What Kinds Of Injuries Are Covered?
Workers’ compensation covers a wide range of injuries, including falls, burns, equipment accidents, repetitive motion injuries, and occupational illnesses. Our Queens workplace injury attorneys can help you document how your injury happened and make sure you have the evidence needed to support your claim.
What If My Employer Says I’m Not Eligible For Benefits?
If your claim is denied, it doesn’t mean it’s over. You have the right to appeal. Our dedicated team of workplace injury lawyers can help review the reason for the denial, gather additional medical information, and represent you during the appeal process. We provide aggressive representation to get you the compensation you deserve after a workplace injury.
Will I Need To Go To Court?
Most workers’ compensation cases are handled outside of court, but you may need to attend hearings or depositions. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced labor law lawyer who understands how the system works and can represent your best interests every step of the way. Remember—we’re here for you.
How Are Lawyers Paid In Workers’ Compensation Cases?
There’s no upfront fee to hire a lawyer in a workers’ compensation case. Our legal team works on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we recover benefits for you. That way, you can focus on your recovery without worrying about the cost of legal help. We know workers may be in a tight financial situation after an injury, especially if they have to take time off work, so we prioritize providing valued legal assistance over getting paid.

We believe every injured worker deserves direct, honest communication and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their case is in good hands.
