Helping Injured Workers Obtain the Benefits They Are Entitled to
New York law provides benefits for almost all workers who were injured on the job. Although benefits are mandated, many initial claims are not accepted; the 2007 annual report of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board states that 23 percent of claims were rejected. This makes it critical to have experienced and knowledgeable legal representation — with the right lawyer, you can improve your chances of success.
