Workers' Compensation Attorney in Manhattan

In Manhattan, workers' compensation insurance typically covers the following:

• Medical expenses related to the injury or illness
• Wage replacement for time off work
• Rehabilitation and vocational training
• Compensation for permanent disabilities

Note that this insurance won't cover everything – there are limits. By contacting us for a free case evaluation, we may be able to explore other ways to maximize your claim and recover damages beyond what this type of insurance covers.

Independent contractors are usually not eligible for workers' compensation benefits. However, we've seen cases where employers have misclassified their employees to avoid paying workers' compensation insurance. For this reason, you should always have your case reviewed by an expert to determine whether there is any foul play involved. 

In that case, you may still have options. You can contact us to explore potential legal remedies, such as pursuing a personal injury claim against your employer.

Yes, you can, and that's because workers' compensation is generally a no-fault system. That said, this insurance won't cover injuries resulting from intentional misconduct or substance abuse while on the job.

In Manhattan and throughout New York City, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for filing workers' compensation claims. If you suspect retaliation, you should document incidents and contact us for a free assessment. 

While you may have a right to pursue compensation if you get injured on the job, having a skilled Manhattan workers' compensation lawyer in your corner significantly improves your chances of obtaining favorable results. That's what you get when you hire us to represent you. We have the results to show in the form of $23 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements.
