Long Island Workers Comp Lawyer Helping Injured Municipal Workers and Public Employees
If you are injured as an employee of New York, a NYC hospital, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), the Port Authority, or a New York county or school district (other than police officers, firefighters and uniformed sanitation workers, who have a separate claims system), you have the same New York workers’ compensation rights as anyone in the private sector and have a right to seek legal counsel with an experienced workplace injury lawyer. Our Long Island workers comp lawyer is here to help and has offices across Long Island.
However, you may encounter complications in dealing with the employer because of special civil service and union rules dealing with workers’ compensation claims. Many of these rules are very helpful to injured workers, but they also make your claim more complicated. For example, if you are paid a full salary while off for a workers’ compensation claim, you may need to go to a formal hearing before a judge to get your sick or vacation time restored. Our job is to maximize any workers’ compensation award you are due, even beyond any salary already paid to you.
