Workers’ Compensation
When you’ve been injured on the job or diagnosed with a repetitive stress injury related to your employment, The Bronx’s compensation system serves as a safety net offering vital medical care and wage replacement benefits. However, claims involving serious injuries or significant time missed from work can be complex. Our worker’s compensation attorneys will help you thoroughly document your condition and how it is affecting your ability to return to work so you can receive the maximum possible benefits.
Social Security Disability
Social Security disability benefits help adults with chronic illnesses or injuries provide for themselves and their families. Unfortunately, the application process is notoriously confusing and many valid claims are initially denied. Our Social Security disability attorneys can help you prepare an application that best supports your claim for benefits and advocate for your interests throughout the appeals process.
