The New York workers’ compensation system provides several types of benefits to help injured workers recover and maintain financial stability. When you work with Fessenden Laumer & DeAngelo, PLLC, we’ll help you understand and pursue all benefits you may be entitled to receive, including:
Workers’ compensation pays for all necessary medical care related to your work injury. This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and medical equipment. We’ll ensure the insurance carrier meets its obligation to cover your healthcare needs.
If you cannot work due to your injury, you may receive weekly payments to replace a portion of your lost wages. The amount depends on your average weekly wage and the extent of your disability. We understand how to calculate these benefits correctly to maximize your compensation.
For workers with lasting impairments, additional benefits may be available based on the body part affected and the degree of disability. We’ll work with medical experts to document your condition thoroughly.
If you cannot return to your previous job, workers’ compensation may pay for job retraining or education to help you transition to new employment. We’ll advocate for these services when appropriate.
You can receive reimbursement for transportation costs to medical appointments, including mileage, parking, and public transit fares.
If a worker loses their life due to a workplace accident or illness, their dependent family members may receive weekly benefits and help with funeral expenses.
