New York Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Syracuse Workers’ Comp Attorneys

The U.S. Department of Labor reported that in 2006 there were 4.1 million non-fatal injuries and illnesses in the workplace and more than half of these injuries and illnesses required days away from work, job transfer, or job restriction. Furthermore, 5,703 workers suffered fatal workplace injuries, and with more than 1,200 fatal injuries, the construction industry accounted for more fatal work injuries than any other industry sector.

New York workers’ compensation law is designed to provide financial support to injured workers when they need it. Sometimes, however, employers and insurance companies may unfairly deny compensation, delay benefits, or award less than injured workers need to cover the costs of bills, groceries, gas, and other needs.

Fortunately, you have rights thanks to New York workers' compensation. These rights include money for your medical bills and a portion of your lost income due to the work-related injury or illness. If you sustain an on-the-job injury, you are entitled to benefits. Long-term, acquired disabilities and diseases are also covered. Applicable benefits cover a wide range of disabilities acquired on the job, both short- and long-term. The professionals at Greene & Reid can help guide you through the confusing process and explain your options.

If you feel you're not getting adequate workers' compensation benefits or you've been denied, let the New York workers' compensation lawyers of Greene & Reid help you. Well-versed in the laws dealing with workers comp benefits, we can help you fight to get what you deserve.
