Industrial jobs are inherently dangerous, and workplace accidents can be devastating. Victims are often permanently disabled, unable to work in the same job, or even tend to their personal needs. If you have been hurt at work, you’re entitled to New York workers’ compensation. However, many severely injured workers find to their dismay that instead of the quality medical care and other benefits they’re supposed to receive, they actually get nothing but trouble. At Polsky, Shouldice & Rosen, P.C., we exclusively handle workers’ compensation claims, and we’ve had decades of success helping people like you. Please contact our Long Island, NY industrial accident lawyer today for a consultation.
Industrial Accident Lawyer Long Island, NY
The devastating injuries that an industrial accident causes leave the poor victim in immense pain, worried about whether they’ll heal or even if they will be able to walk again. As medical bills pile up, you’re probably grateful for the workers’ compensation benefits that allow you access to top-quality medical care.
Nearly all employers in New York are legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance and provide these benefits for employees. Your benefits cover all medically necessary treatments for your industrial accident injury, plus a wage replacement benefit equal to 2/3 of your weekly average wages.
These benefits are free to you and should kick in once you report the accident to your supervisor. However, if you are having difficulty getting your claim approved, or if your employer’s insurance company tries to minimize the claim, or says that you caused the accident or aren’t eligible for benefits, it’s important to consult with our Long Island industrial accident lawyer right away. We can ensure that your claim is properly filed, so no errors or omissions keep you from getting your benefits. We also file appeals for denied claims, helping you get the medical care and wage stipend you deserve.
