Are You Eligible for Compensation After Being Injured in the Workplace?

Certain conditions must be met to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits in New York. A workers’ compensation lawyer in Brooklyn can assess your eligibility based on state-specific regulations, including but not limited to:

  • Was the injury work-related? Workers’ comp benefits are available for injuries or illnesses that result directly from job duties. This includes physical accidents, repetitive stress injuries, or illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous materials at work.
  • Are you classified as an employee? Workers’ compensation usually applies to employees, not independent contractors or freelancers. However, some contractors may still qualify depending on their classification under New York state law.
  • Was the injury reported within the required timeframe? Employees must notify their employer within 30 days of the injury. Missing this deadline could impact your ability to secure benefits.
  • Was a claim filed within the deadline? New York requires workers’ compensation claims to be submitted within two years of the injury or the last date of related medical treatment to remain valid.

Even if you’re unsure whether you meet the workers’ compensation benefits criteria, exploring all your options is important. A Brooklyn workers’ comp attorney from the TopDog Law network can thoroughly review your situation, assess your claim, and identify available paths to pursue full and fair workers comp benefits.

How Much Compensation is Available After an On-the-Job Injury?

The value of a workers’ compensation claim in New York varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. Workers’ comp benefits typically cover:

  • Medical costs: This includes treatment, physical therapy, surgeries, prescriptions, and other healthcare expenses directly related to the workplace injury.
  • Lost wages: Benefits may replace some of your income if your injury prevents you from working temporarily or permanently. Typically, this amounts to two-thirds of your average weekly wage, subject to a statewide cap.
  • Permanent disability benefits: If your injury results in a permanent disability, you may qualify for additional compensation, depending on the nature and extent of the disability.
  • Vocational rehabilitation services: Workers’ comp may fund training for a new type of work for those unable to return to their previous duties.

While workers’ compensation benefits don’t account for pain and suffering, clients can explore other options if third-party negligence contributed to the injury. Once connected through TopDog Law, a Brooklyn workers’ comp lawyer can provide more detailed guidance.

How Can a Brooklyn Workers' Comp Lawyer Help You Fight for Maximum Compensation?

Claims for workers’ compensation often seem straightforward, but hurdles can arise. Insurance companies might dispute claims, offer partial payments, or deny coverage altogether. Brooklyn workers’ comp lawyers from the TopDog Law network work to address these challenges effectively. Here’s how they can assist:

  • Filing claims accurately: Mistakes or missing information on workers’ comp forms can result in delays or denials. Lawyers oversee the filing process to ensure all paperwork is error-free and submitted promptly.
  • Appealing denied claims: A denial doesn’t have to mean the end of your case. Lawyers review the reasons for denial, gather additional evidence, and handle the appeals process to fight for the benefits you may deserve.
  • Proving the workplace connection: When insurers question whether an injury is job-related, lawyers collect vital evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony, to establish a clear connection to the workplace.
  • Handling insurance company tactics: Insurance companies may use various strategies to limit payouts. Lawyers negotiate directly with insurers, pushing back on lowball offers to secure fair compensation.
  • Pursuing third-party claims: If another party’s negligence contributed to your injury, you might have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit in addition to claiming workers’ comp. Lawyers can explore these opportunities to help increase your recoverable compensation.

With the support of a Brooklyn workers’ compensation attorney, you won’t face these challenges alone. Contact TopDog Law today to connect with a lawyer in our network of legal professionals who can fight to secure the benefits you need.
