If you were injured or became ill while performing your job duties, you likely qualify for workers’ compensation benefits — regardless of whether you work full-time, part-time, or seasonally. New York’s workers’ comp system is “no-fault,” meaning you don’t need to prove that your employer did something wrong to file a claim.
While documentation can strengthen your case, you may still be eligible for compensation even if you don’t have everything on hand right away. Our legal team can help gather the necessary medical records, witness statements, and any additional evidence to support your claim and move your case forward.
Every case is different, but workers’ comp benefits typically begin after your claim is approved. If your claim is delayed or denied, we can take immediate action — including filing an appeal or pursuing legal action — to help you get the benefits you deserve as quickly as possible.
If you’re already working with an attorney, that’s okay. However, if you feel your case isn’t progressing or you’re not getting the support you need, we may be able to offer a second opinion or take over your case. Contact us for a free, confidential consultation to learn about your options.
