Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. In New York, nearly all employers are required to carry workers’ comp coverage, which offers protection regardless of who was at fault for the accident.

If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to:

• Medical treatment at no cost to you

• Weekly cash benefits for lost wages

• Compensation for permanent injuries or disability

• Rehabilitation and physical therapy

• Death benefits for families who lost a loved one due to a work-related incident

Why You Need a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

The workers’ compensation system is supposed to protect injured employees—but in reality, claims are often delayed, denied, or underpaid. Insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts, and employers may not always cooperate.

At Ofshtein Law Firm, P.C., we:

• Ensure your claim is filed properly and on time

• Handle all communications with insurance companies

• Fight denied or reduced benefits

• Help you access the medical care and wage replacement you need

• Represent you in hearings or appeals, if necessary

• Identify if a third-party personal injury claim is possible for additional compensation

What to Do After a Workplace Injury

If you’ve been injured on the job, it’s critical to take the right steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

1. Report the injury to your employer immediately.

2. Seek medical attention and inform the provider that it’s a work-related injury.

3. File a claim with the New York Workers’ Compensation Board (Form C-3).

4. Contact our office to review your rights and avoid costly mistakes.

Even a small delay can put your claim at risk. Let us help you take action now.
