Catastrophic Workplace Injury Attorneys
Serving Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island
More than 25 percent of Workers' Compensation benefits go to people with back, neck, spine and head injuries, according to the 2007 annual report of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board.
Injuries to the head, neck and back are extremely common workplace injuries, no matter what kind of work you perform. Something as simple as picking up a box or falling can cause significant neck, back, and head injuries. These types of injuries can alter the course of a person's life, making it impossible to work or live a normal life. Even if the victim recovers, there is always the possibility of residual damage.
It is usually possible to obtain Workers' Compensation benefits that pay for medical expenses, lost income and other expenses arising from work-related back, neck and spine injuries. However, the Workers' Compensation law is complex and recent changes have made it more challenging; this is why it is essential to have a knowledgeable lawyer to help navigate the process.
