Workers’ Compensation Laws

The laws regarding Workers’ Compensation in New York are complex.  There are eight steps that are taken when making a claim, starting with the initial doctor visit and notifying their supervisor.  The claim form (C-3) is a long form and asks many questions that must be answered accurately and fully in order to make a claim.  With the assistance of a Queens workers compensation lawyer, you can ensure that your claim is correctly made so that you can receive the benefits you are due after your injury.  There are often types of claims that can be made on your behalf that you do not know about, beyond just medical costs and lost wages.  At Katz, Leidman, Grossman, Wolfe & Freund the legal team understands all aspects of the law with regard to workers comp claims and will fight on behalf of any injured client.

Dealing with an injury can be emotional as well as physical.  When you no longer are able to lead life as you once did due to a serious work accident, you deserve to be compensated for the loss of enjoyment of life and pain and suffering that is part of such an injury.  After devoting your life and time to your job, it is only fair that you get monetary compensation if you are seriously injured while at work.

The laws can be violated in certain ways in specific cases in which the employer does not wish to be paying your claim.  This can be done by the employer having a specific doctor they use that claims you are ready to go back to work before you are really able, or putting you in a new position at work to make allowances for your injury.  After a few weeks of work, the position is eliminated and you are laid off, and no longer have the ability to make a claim.  Sadly, these incidents really do happen, and if you are having trouble with your workers comp claim, it is critical that you immediately contact Katz, Leidman, Grossman, Wolfe & Freund to fight for your rights.  There is no cost for the consultation, and the payment for any services to clients is made when the case is settled, and the amount paid is restricted by the judge and is a low percentage of your claim.  You will not have to outlay cash to speak with a workers compensation lawyer at the firm.
