Frequently Asked Questions

Getting into a workplace injury can leave you with more questions than answers. To take the necessary action to benefit your best interests, you may need some information quickly. Here are some answers to commonly asked questions.

Am I eligible for workers’ compensation?

Nearly all New York state employees are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. New York state law requires that almost all employers obtain workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. Some examples of employees not covered are New York City uniformed police officers and firefighters.

Do I have a case?

If you suffered more than a minor injury in the course of your employment, you likely have a workers’ compensation case. The amount of monetary benefit is dependent on the severity of your injury as well as other factors.

What should I do after my accident?

Immediately report your injury to your supervisor, seek medical attention from a doctor for your injuries and advise them you were injured at work, and contact a workers’ compensation lawyer.

How long will it take to receive my compensation?

It can take anywhere from two weeks to many months to receive your compensation. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the less delay there will be.

Do I need an attorney?

It is not required, but every insurance company has attorneys working for them, so why wouldn’t you have one working on your behalf? Even though workers’ compensation is a workplace benefit, there is no guarantee you will receive the benefits you deserve. Your lawyer can help you maximize the compensation you receive while also avoiding any mistakes that may cost you your case or significant money.

How does a workers’ compensation attorney get paid?

There is no risk in speaking with an attorney, as the consultation is free, and your attorney is only paid if they obtain benefits for you.

Can I file a lawsuit in addition to a workers’ compensation claim?

Except in rare circumstances, you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer. However, suppose your injuries were caused by an individual other than a coworker or your employer. In that case, you may have the ability to file a lawsuit in addition to a workers’ compensation case. Attorney Eric Nass has long-standing relationships with lawyers throughout New York who could assist with a potential lawsuit.

If I have previously injured the same body part, can I claim it in my current workers’ compensation case?

Yes, you can, except in the rarest of circumstances. Please note that it is important to notify all health care providers and your workers’ compensation attorney of any prior history of body parts injured in your work accident.
