We handle every stage of the process, from filing an initial claim to appealing wrongful denials. Our goal is simple: to secure your financial stability while you focus on recovery.

UNDERSTANDING WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Workers’ compensation provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. Insurance carriers, however, often delay or deny valid claims. We make sure your case is documented correctly, filed on time, and supported by the medical and legal evidence needed to protect your rights.
WORKPLACE INJURIES
Workplace injuries can occur in any setting — not only in high-risk jobs. Whether you work on a construction site, drive for a living, or sit behind a desk, you have the right to compensation for injuries sustained in the course of your employment. We represent clients injured in serious accidents and those suffering from cumulative trauma or occupational illness.
CLAIM DENIALS & DISPUTES
Even valid claims can be denied for technical or strategic reasons by insurers. Common disputes involve causation, the extent of disability, or return-to-work capacity. A denial does not end your case — you have the right to appeal.
THIRD-PARTY LIABILITY
If someone other than your employer caused your workplace injury — such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer — you may be entitled to additional compensation through a third-party claim.
RETURN-TO-WORK & RETALIATION PROTECTION
Employers sometimes pressure employees to return to work too soon or retaliate for filing a claim. Both actions violate New York law. You have the right to a safe return-to-work plan that honors medical restrictions and to be free from retaliation or termination.
