Neck & Back InjuriesNew York City Worker's Comp AttorneysIf legislators could see what a serious neck or back injury looks like, how people who suffer them have had their lives irreparably changed — they might have written the new workers' compensation statute differently. Instead, lobbying pressure from the insurance industry and concerns over people "scamming" the system have made recovering more than just a minimum of compensation for these types of "invisible" injuries difficult at best. New York workers' compensation law has changed. The quality of our representation has not. If you've suffered a serious workplace injury, contact our New York City law offices and talk to an experience workers' comp lawyer today. At the Law Office of Robert Koenigsberg, we provide individualized service and proven legal representation to injured workers throughout New York City and its surrounding areas. This has been our focus for more than a decade. As a result, we have learned a great deal about the medical diagnosis and treatment of various neck and back injuries, including:
Because of how the new workers' compensation statute is written, people who have suffered a back or neck injury face a greater challenge in securing benefits. New medical guidelines will be published by the state of New York within the next few months. For certain cases, there will no longer be lifetime benefits and certain non-extremity injuries will have caps. However, depending on the level of your disability, we anticipate that your benefits may last between 4 and 9 years. When the guidelines are released, our attorneys will examine and analyze these guidelines to ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to. Depending on the number of years of worker's comp you qualify for, we hope the new guidelines will allow us to be in a position to negotiate a settlement for you. For example, if we feel your disability entitles you to 8 years of payments, but the insurance company insists you are only entitled to 4 years, we may be able to negotiate a settlement more favorable than the one offered by the insurance company. We will always keep you informed about the progress of your case and explain your options in clear terms. Decisions about whether to accept settlement terms or to push the case further will be yours. We are easy to reach and work with your bests interests in mind.
