Serious Work Injuries and Common Accidents in Ossining

While some jobs might be considered on average more dangerous than others, a serious injury can happen to any worker at any time. Even if you are careful, accidents still happen. A workers’ compensation attorney can help workers get compensated for:

  • Back and neck injuries from lifting heavy things
  • Burns and cuts from hot oil or sharp tools
  • Slips and falls on wet floors
  • Broken bones from falls or motor vehicle accidents
  • Hearing loss from loud tools or machines
  • Injuries from assaults or other violence for corrections officers

These injuries can keep you out of work for days, weeks, or even longer. Some people may not be able to go back to the same job at all.

What Money Can You Get for a Workers’ Comp Claim?

Workers’ compensation helps pay for many things if you get hurt while doing your job. You may be able to get:

  • Medical Care – All your doctor visits, physical therapy, and medicine can be covered.
  • Temporary Disability Payments for Lost Wages – If you can’t work, you can get part of your pay while you recover – usually up to two-thirds of what you usually make subject to a maximum limit set by law.
  • Permanent Disability Benefits – If you can’t go back to work, or can’t do the same job, you can get compensation for that.
  • Schedule Loss of Use Award (SLU) – A lump sum payment for permanent impairment to certain body parts such as one’s extremities (knees, shoulders, wrists, etc.).
  • Death Benefits – If a worker dies, their family may get money to help.

How Can a Workers’ Compensation Attorney Serving Ossining Help You?

The workers’ comp system can be really confusing. There are forms to fill out, deadlines to meet, and medical records to submit. If an injured worker makes a mistake, the insurance company might deny the claim and withhold benefits.  

Having a lawyer can certainly help. Here is what they can do:

  • Deal with the insurance company directly.
  • Ensure all forms are filled out correctly and on time.
  • Challenge an insurance company’s denial of your claim.
  • Litigate any issues at the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board.
  • Negotiate a settlement of your case if applicable.
  • Fight for the full compensation that you deserve.

Whether you are a nurse, healthcare worker, fast food employee, auto mechanic, security guard, corrections officer, or anything else, the Law Office of Michael J. McConnell is ready to take a stand to protect your rights to fair compensation.
