Bronx Workers' Comp Attorneys
What if you were injured at your first job, causing you to lose your paycheck from that job and from your second job as well? What if your case involves a pre-existing condition? What if you suffered your injury in the workplace years ago and your benefits have stopped, but now the injury is acting up again?
There are many unique issues that can arise related to workers' compensation. At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, our lawyers understand how to address these issues. Many of the above questions, in certain circumstances, are addressed by New York's special funds and, specifically, the second injury fund.
What is the Second Injury Fund?
The second injury fund is a special fund managed by the state of New York. When a workers' compensation insurance company has to pay an assessment to the state, part of that assessment goes into special funds, one of which is the second injury fund. When money comes out of special funds, it is coming from the state, not the insurance company directly.
Special Funds and Workers' Compensation Law Changes
If you are concerned about lost wages from a second job, issues related to a pre-existing condition or reopening a case that was closed years ago, our attorneys can help you find all available options.
The workers' compensation law changes made in 2007, special funds and the second injury fund do not provide the relief that they used to. With 20 years of experience on our side, we know when we can turn to special funds as an option. We know how the changes to the law impact workplace injury victims in these matters.
