Workers’ Compensation Claims

You just had an accident at work yesterday. How do you get medical care? Who will pay you if you are out of work? How much? Who do you have to report the accident to? Can your employer force you to see "their" doctor? Do you have to speak to the insurance company or their nurse? What are you rights and obligations under the New York State Workers' Compensation Law? These are common questions injured workers might have regarding a New York State Workers' Compensation claim. The good news is that with one toll free phone call, the attorneys at Turley, Redmond & Rosasco, LLP can provide you with the answers.

Turley, Redmond & Rosasco, LLP has been helping injured workers with New York State Workers' Compensation claims for over a generation.

Unfortunately, the workplace is still one of the most dangerous places in the world. With employers more focused on reducing labor costs and/or competition from China, workplace safety frequently takes a back seat. Because of this, workplace injuries and workers' compensation claims are far too common. When injuries do happen, employers often try to discourage the worker from exercising his/her rights under the New York State Workers' Compensation Law. However, in order for you to protect your right to lifetime medical care under the workers' compensation system, you must send a claim on a specific form to the Workers' Compensation Board. Simply having your employer fill out an accident report will not protect you. You can obtain this special form from either Turley, Redmond & Rosasco, LLP or the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Failure to file this special form within two years of your injury or illness could endanger your right to lifetime benefits. Therefore, unless your injury is minor requiring no more than one doctor's visit, you should consult with an experienced and qualified workers' compensation attorney as soon as possible.

Unlike some law firms, the attorneys at Turley, Redmond & Rosasco, LLP personally meet with all potential workers' compensation clients. This insures that the client fully understands his/her rights and responsibilities from the beginning. It also insures that a legal strategy is developed and the claim is handled correctly from the beginning. Of course, this takes more time than law firms that do everything through the mail or have clients meet with only paralegals, but it also solidifies the ongoing cooperative attorney/client relationship. At Turley, Redmond & Rosasco, LLP, our 11 attorneys return their own phone calls and will talk to you as long as necessary. Our philosophy is that the more the client understand, the more successfully the eventual outcome of the case. Given our firm's tremendous growth in the last 10 years, this seems to be a recipe for success. Call us toll free today at 1-877-NY-DBLAW to discuss your New York State Workers' Compensation claim. You'll be glad you did.
