We can help you file appeals, request hearings, and pursue administrative review—fighting for the full benefits you deserve.

Benefits Possible Through Workers’ Compensation

With an approved claim, you may be eligible for:

Full medical coverage related to your injury
Lost wages compensation (temporary or total disability)
Permanent disability payments if your injury left lasting effects
Vocational rehabilitation or retraining
Survivor benefits (for fatal workplace accidents)

If your injury involved a third party—like a negligent contractor or property owner—you may also have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit for additional compensation.

What should I do immediately after a personal injury?

First, ensure your safety and call the police. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos and contact us before speaking to any insurance adjusters.

How long will my case take to resolve?

Every case is unique. Some resolve in months, while complex litigation can take over a year. We focus on moving your case as fast as possible without sacrificing the full value of your claim.

What if I was partially at fault?

New York follows a comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be able to recover compensation, though it may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
