There are easy steps that you can take after being injured at work:
On Sunday, June 18th, 2017, a 58-year-old man was working on scaffolding on Nostrand Ave when the unthinkable happened. According to police, he slipped and fell, but instead of landing on the scaffolding he fell over the edge and went three stories to the ground below. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and sadly passed away from his injuries.
Most people are aware of ambulances, but there is another type of medical transport vehicle called an ambulette. Just recently, one of these transport vans overturned at Fulton Ave, causing injuries to the driver. Police have yet to determine why the vehicle flipped.
On Wednesday, June 21st, 2017, at around 1 a.m., a bus went in reverse down a NY street. It gained speed and went down Palmetto St until it crashed into several cars and crashed into the wall of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. One person was injured.

In order to keep up with the city’s ongoing growth in New York, construction companies frequently hire new workers. However, many businesses sometimes decide to forego some safety requirements in an effort to save time and money. However, workers suffer injuries when the proper safety precautions are not performed.
These injured workers should be eligible for workers’ compensation under the law. The worker can use an insurance claim to cover their medical expenses and lost wages, but claim approval isn’t always assured.
Occasionally, it’s not the employer who disregards safety regulations. On many construction sites, there are numerous contractors working on their individual projects, and an accident could occur due to one of these parties’ irresponsibility. Then, those who are hurt may pursue a construction accident lawsuit in addition to submitting a workers’ compensation claim, which could result in them receiving additional compensation.
A law firm that can assist with all of the paperwork, gather evidence, and pursue justice should be contacted as soon as possible. This will increase the likelihood that either of these claims will result in the necessary monies being provided.
Being injured at work is frightening enough, but finding out that you won’t be able to work and are probably not going to be able to engage in activities you used to enjoy may be devastating. Then you realize it’s impossible to get a regular salary anymore.
The majority of adults in America lack a solid financial support structure that would prevent them from falling into poverty. Social Security disability, however, may be useful. Most people assume that social security benefits are only received upon retirement, however recipients may still be eligible for payments if a disability prevents them from returning to the workforce.
Unfortunately, obtaining coverage is challenging, and more than half of all first claims are rejected. In addition to a less stressful environment, applicants who deal with attorneys have a higher chance of having their claim approved the first time.
Employers now have thousands of safety regulations to abide by in order to keep their employees safe, thanks to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. But every day, employers disregard such rules because they believe they know better. While they could be fortunate for a while, an accident will undoubtedly occur. In other instances, workers’ injuries were brought on by the carelessness of a third party or a faulty product.
There should be workers’ compensation insurance available, regardless of how the accident happened. A claim that injured workers might submit is intended to cover their medical expenses. If they are unable to find employment again, the insurance may also reimburse them for some of their lost salary.
Because insurance companies are constantly looking for methods to deny claims, it is considerably harder to prove that a claim is valid than it should be. However, the applicant’s claim has a considerably better chance of being accepted if they have legal representation.
We at Markhoff & Mittman are familiar with all aspects of the workers’ compensation process, as well as how insurance companies operate. We are committed to ensuring that compensation is secured and we are not afraid to fight vigorously for the rights of our clients.
Every single day hundreds of people are hurt in accidents that are caused by another party. While different types of insurance may help to cover some of the expenses, the victims of these accidents are often left financially devastated. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t recover their losses.
If the injuries that were sustained prevent the client from returning to work, our legal team will begin the process of filing for Social Security Disability which can help them to pay their bills. Then, the case will be reviewed to determine if a personal injury lawsuit can be pursued.
Our firm has helped hundreds of plaintiffs obtain the monetary compensation they need after an accident. Together, we work through the necessary paperwork, contact any witnesses, collect evidence, and prepare the case for court. Throughout this process, we also negotiate aggressively with the defendants.
The amount of compensation obtain for each client varies from case to case and depends on their losses, but our legal team does its best to ensure that it will cover past and future expenses.
There are four legal areas that safeguard employees and provide them with some compensation following an accident:
There are still far too many workplace accidents and unsafe work situations despite the numerous financial incentives and laws to promote a safe work environment. The most frequently reported violations, according to OSHA, are:
There are no municipal or county-by-county accident statistics. The most recent data we have for New York State is from 2018, when 140,200 nonfatal occupational illnesses and injuries were reported by private industry employers. Below the national average of 2.8 per 100 workers, that translates to a rate of around 2.2 per 100 full-time employees.
A total of 60,400 injuries and illnesses were reported in state and local government workplaces, which represents an increase from the national rate of 4.8 to 6.4 cases per 100 full-time employees.
To learn more, visit OSHA for the most recent statistics.

"Thank you for all that have done for me. I highly recommend the firm of Markhoff and Mittman to everyone filing a Social Security Disability claim. I can tell you from my experience that you will receive individualized attention from a team of knowledgeable, caring professionals. Led by attorney Scott Daniels, the team of Beth Kirby, Sharon Baez and Don Bridges worked together to ensure that all the medical records and pertinent facts of my case were gathered and presented to the Social Security Administration to provide me with the best possible chance for a successful outcome to my claim. My contact with Mr. Daniels and the support team included regular emails and phone calls which were responded to promptly. Mr. Daniels, in particular would contact me every so often by phone, just to touch base with me, and let me know that everything was being done and we were on course. I greatly appreciated the friendly, caring treatment that I received from everyone at Markhoff and Mittman. When my hearing date was nearing, Mr. Daniels went over the details of my case with me. It was reassuring to know that all of the facts were ready to be presented. I was impressed with Mr. Daniels presentation of my case and with his knowledge of the Social Security Disability laws.
