We handle lifting and bending injuries, slips and falls, pushing and pulling injuries, as well as carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, numbness, tingling or persistent pain.

Compensation Issues
Often, the most challenging aspect of a work-related injury is ensuring that you get compensation from the responsible party and that your compensation is appropriate. We have extensive experience securing full and fair compensation from insurance companies. For additional information, visit our page on compensation issues.
What to Expect in the Workers' Compensation Process
If you have never been injured at work, you may be uncertain about the process. How long will it take? When will you start getting payments? What do you do if your claim is denied? Can you choose your own health care provider? In most situations, we can handle all matters related to your workers' compensation claim without the need for an office visit. We provide all prospective clients with a free consultation. After that consultation, if we decide we can help you, we will mail you a sign-up packet, which includes postage-paid return envelopes. Once we receive your materials, we will file a retainer, review your case in detail and take any appropriate action, as well as act as your advocate in all hearings and proceedings. To learn more, see our page on what to expect when you file a workers' compensation claim.
To set up a free consultation, contact us or call us at 716-648-1300. All workers' compensation claims are handled on a contingent fee basis. We will only charge legal fees if we recover compensation for your losses.
