If you have been injured on the job, there's a good chance that you qualify for benefits under the workers' compensation laws. The process can be confusing and intimidating, and your employer and the workers' compensation insurance provider will look for any way to deny your claim. You want an experienced attorney to guide you through the process; a lawyer who fully understands the law and the process, who knows the workers' compensation system and how to get the benefits you need and deserve.
At the Klein Law Group, in New York City, I aggressively protect the rights of people who have been hurt on the job. I know that an injury can be stressful, leaving you concerned about whether you will be able to return to work or if you will have the resources to pay your bills. My goal is to alleviate your stress and give you the encouragement you need to move forward with your life - confident that your legal rights are being protected.
My Workers' Compensation Practice
I handle all matters related to injuries suffered at work, whether you were recently hurt or you have already filed an application for benefits and had your claim denied. I can help you prepare your initial paperwork so that you minimize the risk that your request for benefits will be rejected. I will also counsel you at every step of the process, working with you to see that you get the medical care you need, and that you are not intimidated by your employer or their workers' compensation insurance carrier to relinquish any of your rights.
Though most people don't realize it, many workers' compensation claims are initially rejected. Your employer's insurance provider has a vested interest in paying you as little as possible to resolve your claim. You have a right to appeal. I will handle all matters related to any appeal, filing any necessary documentation and advocating for your rights.
