Our team can provide you with a work injury lawyer in Long Island to explain more about your rights. Dial 516.613.3196 to get a free case evaluation from Shulman & Hill today. The call comes with no obligation, and you can get the answers you need to move forward.

Getting Workers’ Compensation for a Work Injury in Long Island

Workers’ compensation is designed to help injured workers get back on their feet if they are hurt while on the job. Examples of compensable injuries may include but are not limited to:

The New York Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) allows qualifying workers to receive a percentage of their normal wage for as long as they are unable to work. It also covers treatment for your work-related injury.

Our Attorneys Can Fight for Your Compensation

How can you get workers’ comp benefits and ensure that the amount you receive accurately reflects your needs? A Long Island workers’ compensation lawyer from Shulman & Hill can protect your rights—and your benefits—by:

  • Investigating your accident and collecting evidence that strengthens your claim for benefits
  • Calculating exactly how much money you deserve down to the last dollar
  • Notifying all involved parties
  • Filling out and submitting the appropriate forms and paperwork

Can I File a Work Injury Lawsuit in Long Island?

Injured workers may have the right to file a third-party lawsuit in addition to or instead of seeking workers’ compensation. It is entirely possible that you could pursue compensation through both channels. Shulman & Hill can let you know if this is an option for you and take appropriate action.

Your personal injury lawyer may review the following with you:

  • Did someone (a contractor, business, or another party) behave carelessly or neglect their duty in some way?
  • Did this party have a responsibility to be cautious so as to protect others from possible harm?
  • Did this party’s carelessness cause the accident in which you were injured?
  • Did the injury cause you significant physical, emotional, and financial harm?

This is why hiring our work injury attorney can be so helpful. Our team can walk you through these aspects of your case, determine if your case qualifies for a lawsuit, and find evidence to prove you deserve compensation.

Through a third-party lawsuit, you could seek damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, as well as the pain and losses you are likely to incur in the years ahead.

Dealing With Challenges in Your Work Injury Case

Whether you file a lawsuit or a claim for workers’ comp (or both), you may encounter resistance. The liable party and/or your employer might be reluctant to pay what you deserve. They may try various tactics to reduce what they have to give you.

At Shulman & Hill, we take our responsibility to our clients seriously. If another party tries to reduce your compensation or violate your rights, tell us immediately. We can take action to ensure your rights are protected at all times.

We Make Paying for Representation Less Challenging

For many, paying for legal representation is in and of itself a challenge. Getting money through a claim or lawsuit may take a while, so what can you do to reduce expenses in the meantime?

Shulman & Hill can help you manage your legal costs in the following ways:

  • We offer a free case review over the phone before you hire us. During this call, you can get all your questions answered at no obligation.
  • We are honest and open about what types of expenses go into fighting a legal case, so you are never taken by surprise.

We always encourage clients to come to us with questions or concerns about legal costs. We may be able to work with them to make our services more accessible.

Who Is at Risk of a Work Injury?

Some occupations are more dangerous than others. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the three New York private industries that saw the most injuries in 2020 are:

  • Trade, transportation, and utilities
  • Health services
  • Education

That said, every industry has its own unique hazards. You could be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits and/or a settlement regardless of what you do for a living.

Work Accidents That Qualify for Compensation

The definition of a compensable work injury is generally quite broad. As long as you can prove that your injury occurred when you were doing your work duties, you may qualify for compensation.

Below are a few examples of work injuries you could be reimbursed for, but again, this is not an exhaustive list:

To know for sure if and how you can collect compensation, we encourage you to consult our office as soon as possible.

We also represent union members who need extra support for their case. We very often work with:

If you are the surviving family member of someone who lost their life as the result of a fatal workplace accident, we offer our condolences. While we know that money can never replace what you have lost, we also know that this type of event comes with many unexpected expenses. We invite you to contact us for help with the process of receiving the compensation you are entitled to.

Shulman & Hill can help you with your case, no matter how tough it is or what type of compensation you qualify for. Call 516.613.3196 now and book a consultation about your work injury case at no cost to you. A lawyer in our Long Island office could fight hard for every penny you need and deserve.
