Under New York law, injured workers are entitled workers’ compensation for injuries that were suffered on the job, no matter what caused the injury.

Unfortunately, many injured workers do not obtain the compensation that they are entitled to because they do not seek professional help. Additionally, many of the workers who are able to win their workers’ compensation claim do not receive the maximum compensation that they deserve.
