Don't Go It Alone Against the Insurance Companies
Workers' Compensation is here for you when you need it most. It pays benefits for injuries or illnesses sustained on the job. The New York Workers’ Compensation Board changed their rules in favor of the employers and insurance companies to save them money - at the expense of injured workers. These new laws make it difficult for the injured workers like yourself to get medical treatment. If you get injured at work, it's crucial to immediately seek the advice of an experienced Workers' Compensation attorney. We know how to win your case. Call James Trauring & Associates, LLC, today at 518-370-5515 to schedule your free consultation. If you can't come to us, we will come to you.
Don't Settle for Less Than You Deserve
Every company has a Workers' Compensation insurance carrier to protect your employer. They do not always care about the little guy. Never settle directly with the insurance company. If you settle a Workers' Compensation claim without certain verbiage in your settlement contract, it could hinder your future eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits. You need experienced attorneys to fight for you like the ones at James Trauring & Associates, LLC.
Workers Compensation Board Changing the Rules
In 2006 and 2010, the New York Workers' Compensation Board reworked their policies. These new rules save your employer and the insurance company money at the expense of you, the injured worker. With these newly instituted laws, it can make it difficult for you to receive medical treatment, especially from a doctor of your choosing.
How Do I File A Workers' Compensation Claim?
If you sustain an injury in a workplace accident, you need to provide notice to your employer within 30 days. If your condition is the result of exposure or repetitive activity at work, you have two years to file a claim.
