Workers' Compensation Attorney

Helping Injured Workers Throughout Ulster County and Dutchess County

When you have been injured at work, you need a lawyer who knows the workers' compensation laws and procedures and has the experience to help you recover for lost wages, medical bills and other costs associated with your injury. If you try to file a workers' compensation claim on your own or with inexperienced counsel, you stand to delay or lose benefits you may be entitled to.

At the law offices of Peter M. Cordovano, P.C., in Highland, we advocate for injured workers. For over 20 years, we have represented men and women throughout the Hudson River Valley who have been hurt in the workplace. We'll help you successfully navigate the New York workers' compensation system, from initial filing through appeals, if necessary. Contact us to discuss your claim.

The New York workers' compensation laws require that most employers provide for workers who have been injured during the course of their employment, either through third party insurers or out of their own pockets. Unfortunately, because workers' compensation insurance rates are based on the number of claims an employer's insurer has paid, employers and their insurers have an incentive to delay and deny claims. Insurance companies will also wrongfully insist that you see a doctor of their choosing, another way they can try to deny your claim.

At the offices of Peter M. Cordovano, P.C., we have a thorough knowledge of the New York workers' compensation laws and will fight to make certain that your rights are protected.

• We will work closely with you to establish evidence to support your eligibility for workers' compensation benefits
• We will protect your right to see the doctor of your choice
• We will protect your right to all hearings and appeals provided by law
• We will seek workers' compensation benefits in "independent contractor" situations where you have most or all of the rights and responsibilities of employees
• We will ensure that your doctor completes and files all necessary forms to allow you to recover for lost wages, medical expenses and partial or full disability

When you have been injured on the job in the Hudson River Valley, contact our offices for a confidential consultation.
