Your Questions

Every day thousands of New York workers get injured or become ill due to on-the-job hazards, according to the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health. Exposure to harmful chemicals or substances, prolonged performance of repetitive movements, and accidents can all lead to serious injuries and consequently lost time from work, medical bills, and possible disability. Fortunately, you have rights thanks to workers’ compensation—rights to money for your medical bills and a portion of your lost income due to work-related injury or illness. If you feel you’re not getting adequate workers’ compensation benefits or you’ve been denied, let the New York workers’ compensation lawyers of Greene & Reid Injury Lawyers help you. Well-versed in the laws surrounding workers’ compensation benefits, we can help you fight to get what you deserve.

What kind of injuries or disabilities does workers’ compensation cover?
If you sustain an on-the-job injury, you are entitled to benefits. Long-term, acquired disabilities and diseases are also covered. For example, if you have a pinched nerve or chronic pain due to maintaining a certain position at work over the course of several years, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Applicable benefits cover a wide range of disabilities acquired on the job, both short- and long-term.

What kind of compensation can I receive?
There are three types of benefits: lost wages, medical fees, and vocational rehabilitation or retraining. In general, you will receive compensation for lost wages equal to roughly two-thirds of your gross wages, averaged from a period just before your injury or illness. Customary and reasonable medical fees are also covered.

Can I also sue my employer?
Workers’ compensation laws were created to provide quick, hassle-free compensation for injured employees without weighing down the courts and incurring unnecessary expenditures and delays. Under these terms, a lawsuit against your employer because of injury or disability is not permitted. In return, an employer or its insurance company pays the benefits without a complicated battle over every last detail of your injury claim. Unfortunately, not all claims are simple or easily resolved. A New York workers’ compensation attorney with Greene & Reid can help guide you though the claims process.

Why should I call a workers’ compensation lawyer?
Even if a New York workers’ compensation case does not involve a lawsuit, you may still need solid advice regarding your rights. When disputes arise regarding your claim or the money you are due, you need a workers’ compensation attorney on your side.
