New York City Workers' Comp Lawyer
Helping injured workers and families recover compensation in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and throughout New York since 1981
New York workers' compensation is designed to pay benefits for workers who have been injured on the job. It provides compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, as well as for full or partial disability. Benefits may continue for as long as you are unable to work due to your disability. If you are an injured worker or your family member was injured in a work-related accident, our attorneys at The Orlow Firm can help you file your claim and pursue any additional avenues of recovery. To assure our clients the most effective representation, our firm works together with a law firm that deals exclusively in matters relating to workers’ compensation.

Your recovery beyond compensation benefits:
Any injury sustained while in the course of work-related duties can be compensated in accordance with state workers’ compensation benefits laws. If you have been injured on the job, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits, you may be eligible for additional damages if a third party, which is someone other than your employer or a coworker, caused your injuries. Manufacturers, subcontractors, and landlords are all third parties. Settlements and verdicts awarded to victims of construction accidents caused by third-party negligence are typically much greater than workers’ compensation awards.
