New York Workers' Compensation Attorney

New York Construction Accident and Permanent Disability Lawyer

The system of workers' compensation can be confusing if you have just been injured and are struggling to pay bills while you are out of work. Attorney David Perecman can help you understand workers' compensation insurance, the benefits that you are entitled to receive and how to begin the process of filing for those benefits. With more than 50 years of legal experience, we have worked with thousands of injured workers throughout New York in cases like yours.

At The Perecman Law Firm, our lawyers can provide information you need about your workers' compensation benefits and help you file a claim in a timely fashion. We will work to help you get approval for all of the benefits you are entitled to receive, including temporary and permanent disability benefits. Time after time, we have gotten positive results on a consistent basis for workers who are struggling to get by after a workplace accident.

Workers' Compensation Benefits in New York

Workers' compensation benefits are designed to help people like you, who have been injured at work, recovery without the harsh financial burden that comes with being out of work. Under New York law, workers' compensation provides:

  • A maximum of two-thirds of your weekly wage, up to $500 a week. This applies to total disability and maximum partial disability. If you retain some capacity to work, benefits may be reduced.
  • Reimbursement for medical care directly related to work injuries or illnesses, as well as ongoing care.
  • Death benefits for spouses and minor children of workers who have died as the result of workplace injuries or illnesses. These benefits will also pay funeral expenses up to $6,000.

Injured workers must file for benefits within 30 days of the original injury. Our firm never sits on cases, meaning that we will be proactive in helping you file for benefits in a correct and timely manner.
