New York Workers’ Comp & Worker Injury Attorneys

Were you hurt at work? You may qualify for NY workers’ compensation

An on-the-job injury can adversely affect every part of your life, from your financial stability to your future career. Thankfully, New York workers’ compensation law is in place to protect employees who have been injured in the workplace. These laws require your employer to cover the cost of your medical bills as well as partially compensate for you for lost wages and any ongoing disabilities. In the event that a loved one is killed on the job, NY workers’ comp laws provide financial support to the family of the victim.

At Lever & Stolzenberg, LLP we make certain that our clients are treated fairly during the workers’ compensation process and receive full compensation for their on-the-job injuries, illnesses, and conditions. We understand that the workers’ comp process can include red tape, delays, employer intimidation, and frustration – but we also know how to aggressively navigate the system, expedite the handling of your case, and ultimately get you the support that you and your family need.

Each year, thousands of workers are injured while on the job in New York – from construction workers and industrial workers to those who hold traditional office jobs. We can help anyone who has suffered an on-the-job injury, including:

•    Slip and fall accidents

At Lever and Stolzenberg, LLP we understand that the New York workers’ compensation system can often be complex and confusing – and that before you were injured on the job, you might not have ever given workers’ comp law a thought. Because of this, we work hard to keep our clients informed and involved during the claims process. Do you need the answers to these common workers’ comp questions?

We also assist our New York clients with third-party work injury lawsuits

In cases where a worker is injured on the job as the result of the negligence of a party other than the employer, the injured worker may also file a third party lawsuit to seek damages for pain and suffering in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits. Our New York worker injury attorneys will listen to your story and help you determine who was at fault for your on-the-job accident and who should be responsible for the related damages.
