Workers' Compensation

If you have been hurt on the job, you are entitled to medical care and wage replacement. The Disability Guys are experts in navigating the New York Workers' Compensation system.

• Claim Filing and Appeals: Assisting from the initial accident report to representing clients at hearings if claims are denied or undervalued.
• Occupational Diseases: Representing workers suffering from long-term illnesses caused by workplace conditions, such as repetitive stress injuries or exposure to toxic substances.

Social Security Disability (SSDI)

For those whose medical conditions prevent them from working for a year or more, Social Security Disability is a lifeline. The firm has a high success rate in securing these federal benefits.

• Application Assistance: helping clients gather the necessary medical evidence to prove their disability to the Social Security Administration.
• Hearing Representation: appearing before Administrative Law Judges to argue the case when initial applications are rejected-a common occurrence that requires skilled legal intervention.

Personal Injury and Accidents

Beyond workplace claims, the firm represents individuals injured due to the negligence of others.

• Construction Accidents: handling complex cases involving scaffold falls, machinery accidents, and site negligence (Labor Law 240 claims).
