    Are you looking to win a big workers’ compensation settlement? In this video, I share eight secrets that can help you in maximizing your claim. With over 17 years of experience as a New York workers' compensation lawyer, I understand the strategies that can make a significant difference in the size of your settlement.
    While the average worker's compensation settlement is approximately $22,000, did you know that about a third of injured workers receive $100,000 or more? The key lies in understanding the factors that influence your settlement amount and mastering effective negotiation techniques.
    Throughout this video, you'll discover how to accurately calculate your income to determine your case's value. Furthermore, you'll grasp the crucial role that the nature of your injuries plays in the process. Understanding disability ratings and consulting with a knowledgeable doctor are vital aspects to consider. Additionally, the state you reside in can have a substantial impact on your settlement offer.
    And if your case faces dispute, don't lose hope-pursuing litigation or filing an appeal can often result in significantly higher benefits. Learn the power of negotiation and why having an experienced workers' compensation attorney by your side is essential for getting the maximum compensation for your claim!

    Have a case currently dealing with in Florida, after injuring both knees. Immediately hired an attorney, even though the insurance company has been relatively active in their duties. Currently had an MRI done, and going to physical therapy, but the problem is persistent, and the light duty they gave me at work, isn't so light duty.

    Thank you for your videos. I have 2021 California (hand/wrist)WC claim receiving TTD ,also have 2013 WC (foot)that is open. The older claim in Alaska is going to stop TTD benefits (just started)due to California TTD. My question is can you receive total disability benefits for different body parts from different states? Thanks for any information

    Such helpful info much appreciated! Question once you become MMI should you be receiving something from the insurance company regarding a settlement offer? Or (L&I) if so about how long should that take, I know all states are different just curious on a average?

    • @workerscompnewyork
      @workerscompnewyork  Год назад +3

      Every state law is different, and even where there are similarities in the law local custom and practice can be very nuanced. It’s difficult to say what entitlements you may have according to your state law. In New York State, simply reaching maximum medical improvement, or being classified with a permanent partial disability, does not obligate an insurance company to make a settlement offer, but often times, it is the next logical step in many cases. Regardless of where you live, it helps to speak with an attorney who is well-versed in your state Worker’s Compensation laws to determine if a settlement is a viable option.

    Are insurance companies easier to give you a higher settlement, when they know the accident was due to a 3rd Party & they are getting their 75% back from subrogation?? Will they be easier to negotiate a higher payout because of that?

    I almost lost my index finger and middle finger cause it almost got cut off at work, I've been with workers comp for 10months already and still have to see my doctor... My original job fired me for me following through with my restrictions from my doctor. And I did try to work but that only because I never had workers comp money and couldn't live just not working.. Do think I still have a chance for a settlement even if I worked? I have no control on my index tip finger ever agin

      @workerscompnewyork  Год назад +2

      I am sorry to hear that you’re having a difficult time. If you are getting close to the statue of limitations, you need to act quickly. My recommendation is that you contact your local Bar Association for assistance. You could also ask your doctor if they are familiar with any attorneys who handle Worker’s Compensation in your area, that might be able to help.

    • @workerscompnewyork

      If his injury is work-related and occurred in NY state, he should really consult with an attorney immediately. Failure to do so could jeopardize his right to benefits.

    I broke my finger and got stitches and require surgery due to a work place injury how much is something like that worth?

    • @workerscompnewyork
      @workerscompnewyork  Год назад

      The answer to that question depends on a lot of factors. What finger did you injure? What is your gross average weekly wage? What is your overall percentage of permanent disability? Total loss of use of an index finger is worth 46 weeks of compensation. Total loss of a thumb is 75 weeks of compensation. Each finger has its own separate value. The hand is also valued differently. Those benefits are payable at the total rate of compensation which is 2/3 of your average weekly wage up to the statutory maximum. Please check out my video on schedule loss of use for more information (“How much does workers comp pay in New York?”).

    • @workerscompnewyork
      @workerscompnewyork  Год назад +4

      I certainly understand your situation although I’m not sure what specific question you’re asking me. The simple fact of the insurance companies fighting it does not mean you do not have a valid claim. You should certainly speak to an attorney who could perhaps help you through the system and quite possibly assist you in obtaining benefits.

      Retaliation firing , what reason did they give you??? The insurance company's tell the employer to find a reason to fire an injured employee,, they secretly talk 😮with doctors to give you garbage medical care ,, they want you to go back to work so the employer will find a way to fire you . .

    • @workerscompnewyork
      @workerscompnewyork  Год назад +1

      I’m sorry to hear about your injury. If they are investigating the claim it is possible, they could accept it after they conduct their investigation. However, if an insurance company feels they have any defense whatsoever as a basis to deny claim they often times will. You should make sure you gather all the evidence in support of your claim. I would also suggest you contact him attorney for help especially if they going to deny your case.

    Told my supervisor about faulty equipment. Someone came and checked it out. They said someone would fix it. Hadn’t been fixed in weeks. I now am getting surgery next week for a torn ligament in my biceps trying to muscle the equipment. Would the fact they were negligent affect payout?

      There are many additional factors that contribute to an accurate value assessment. What does your lawyer think of your offer? Has the carrier raised the issue of labor market attachment? Were permanency examinations performed?

      Considering you had pretty much minimal surgeries in one part. That's a pretty good offer. You probably won't get much nore then that
