Bronx Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

In our initial consultation, we will focus on listening to what happened in your case. Timeline information, such as when your injury took place when you reported the injury and when you received medical care are all important. Also, try to gather and bring:

– Your medical records,
– The accident or injury report, if one exists,
– Any photos of your injuries or records you have kept about your condition since the injury took place,
– Any photos of your work area or accident scene,
– Any communications you have received from the workers’ compensation insurance company, board or your employer about the injury,

If you had a pre-existing condition, bring records relevant to that prior injury or illness.

The workers’ compensation insurance companies can be very specific about which doctors are authorized to treat patients who are receiving benefits. You can see your doctor for a second opinion, but to protect your right to workers’ compensation, you should make sure that your primary treating physician for the work injury comes from the approved list.

Yes. If a third party was involved in causing your accident, we can file a lawsuit for additional benefits—such as pain and suffering and your full lost wages. You can still get workers’ compensation, you just cannot recover for the same damages twice.
