Protecting Work-Related Heart Attack Victims
Heart attacks can seem to happen out of the blue, but overlooked warning signs can often indicate the cause. Stress or over-exertion at work can and do cause and contribute to a heart attack or stroke. When they do, you may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits.
Since 1996, the Law Office of Robert Koenigsberg has vigorously represented clients from New York City and surrounding areas in workers' compensation cases. We are not afraid to take on difficult cases. Insurance companies regularly challenge workers' compensation claims involving heart attacks and strokes.

For more than 15 years, Attorney Robert A. Koenigsberg has provided clients with hands-on representation. We are selective in the cases we take on so we can work directly with each client.

Providing Hands-On Representation
Employers and their workers' compensation insurance carries routinely challenge work-related heart attack and stroke cases. They may make arguments that point out risk factors in your lifestyle or genetics that could have caused a heart attack or other illness at any time, not necessarily at work.
Our attorneys know how to overcome these arguments in appropriate cases. We often work directly with medical experts to prove how a work environment caused the heart attack or stroke. We can develop compelling legal arguments connecting the level of exertion and stress from the job to a serious injury or occupational illness, such as:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Pulmonary lung disease
- Lung injury
- Occupational asthma
If you have lost a loved one to an occupational illness or accident, we will provide you with compassionate representation while protecting your rights. Our top priority is to help surviving spouses and their children obtain lifetime payments when they have lost loved ones to work-related accidents. We will also hold any negligent third parties accountable.
