Long Island Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Levine And Wiss, PLLC: Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Serving Nassau County, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx

2018, the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that more than 5,000 private industry workers suffered fatal on-the-job injuries. In New York, there are thousands of work-related injuries and hundreds of deaths annually. In fact, construction workers suffer approximately 20% of workplace injuries that occur in all private industries.

On-the-job injuries can create genuine challenges in the lives of injured workers and the lives of their families. One comfort after being injured on the job is that the victim is likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. This system offers a great degree of security for many workers who cannot return to their jobs while they recover.

Workers’ compensation pays for the medical costs associated with your injuries. When you cannot work for more than a certain number of days, workers’ compensation benefits may cover a portion of your weekly wages. The payments typically continue until your workers’ compensation claim is closed or you can return to work.

However, workers’ compensation laws and procedures can be tricky to navigate, especially when dealing with serious injuries.

It might seem hard to believe that after all of your hard work, you might not get the workers’ compensation you deserve after being injured on the job. But it does happen. Sometimes you present more evidence or mount a stronger case than anticipated.

The insurance company might tell you that you have not documented your injury well-enough, or they have not received your records.
