Have you considered hiring an attorney to help you with your workers' compensation claim? While legal representation is not required, it is often beneficial. Experienced Staten Island Workers' Compensation attorneys can help ensure that your claim is established properly and that every necessary step is taken to get you the benefits and compensation you need and deserve.
What is Workers' Compensation?
Workers' Compensation is a state-governed program that ensures that proper benefits and compensation is issued to eligible claimants, which are employees that have work-related injuries and/or illness. In some cases, including death of an employee, Workers' Compensation beneifts may cover dependents of said employee. The compensation is provided by Workers' Compensation insurance, which every business is required to attain by law.
How do I know if I am eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits?
If you are injured while performing duties of your job, your eligibility for benefits depend on the circumstances of your injury as well as whether you are considered to be an "employee" under Workers' Compensation Law. While many cases are clear-cut on whether one is an employee or not, some cases can become complex and may require the legal expertise of a Staten Island Workers' Compensation lawyer.
How do I find an attorney to represent me?
If you are familiar with someone who has used the services of an attorney for a workers' compensation matter previously, speak to them about their experience. Otherwise, research your options thoroughly online by taking into consideration factors such as length of experience in workers' compensation, success rate and demeanor. It is also highly recommended to schedule a consultation with 2 or 3 attorneys prior to making your decision.
