New York City Workers' Compensation Lawyers
As insurance companies gain more control, the workers' compensation system becomes less responsive to people who suffer injuries at work. Under the new law, this is most clearly seen in the way that people with permanent partially disabling injuries are treated.
Our attorneys are not deterred by this. You still have rights we can fight to protect.
Workers' compensation settlements for permanent total and permanent partial disabilities are an area where our level of experience can make a tremendous difference. For a free consultation in New York City or its surrounding areas — contact us.
At the Law Office of Robert Koenigsberg, we have been dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers for more than a decade. We are not going to stop now just because the law has changed. In addition to obtaining workers' comp benefits for qualified medical expenses and lost income, our attorneys also help people who have suffered permanent partial and total disabilities obtain disability settlements for their injuries.
The hope is that new payment schedule guidelines will be published by the state of New York within the next few months. For certain cases, lifetime benefits will no longer be available; and for certain non-extremity injuries the benefits will have caps. However, depending on the level of your disability, we expect the benefits to 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.
We also can also help you with Social Security Disability benefits.
