Understanding Manhattan Workers’ Compensation Claims

Most New York employers are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance, but that does not mean that they will pay a claim easily. They might dispute the cause of an injury or they might question whether you are injured at all. An insurer could try to claim that the injury is not covered by workers’ compensation. This is why it may be necessary to find a Manhattan workers’ compensation attorney to help with your claim.

Shulman & Hill is a workers’ compensation law firm in Manhattan with numerous past successes helping injured workers recover fair compensation after a workplace injury. We understand the tactics insurance companies may use to deny or delay your claim, and we know how to defeat them.

Why Hire a Manhattan Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

What to Do After a Manhattan Workplace Injury

Workers’ compensation is not something that is paid out automatically. There are some steps you can take to help prevent your Manhattan workers’ compensation claim from being denied.

First, you may need to seek treatment for the injury or illness. This could be at a hospital, occupational health clinic, or through your primary care doctor. Along with that, you should notify your employer of the injury or illness.

You will then need to file your workers’ compensation claim. This includes providing information about your employment status and the type of incident that caused the injury. These claims can be time-sensitive, so you should try to file as soon as you can.

Consulting a workers’ compensation lawyer in Manhattan can help ensure a successful outcome. A lawyer can help you fill out the necessary forms and make sure you do not miss any important deadlines.

How Much is a Workers’ Compensation Claim Worth?

As any Manhattan workers’ compensation attorney can tell you, each claim is unique. Different injuries can have different outcomes for the injured worker. Some people might heal faster than others, and some claimants may not be able to return to work at all.

The following are some of the types of compensation that might be covered in a workers’ compensation claim:

  • Current medical expenses
  • Future medical expenses
  • Ongoing disability payments

As a workers’ compensation law firm in Manhattan, Shulman & Hill has the experience and skills to help you pursue every type of compensation you may be entitled to.
