New York Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

New York takes care of its workers by mandating that employers provide workers’ compensation benefits, which cover medical costs and loss wages for employees injured on the job. Because sometimes, even the hardest working New Yorkers, who love to work, may find it impossible to go back to work altogether, or in the same capacity after an on the job injury.

Unfortunately, even though the law requires employers to maintain workers’ compensation insurance, too often workers have a hard time getting the benefits to which you are legally entitled.
