Workers Compensation

The law provides that anyone who is injured on the job has a right to benefits under the Workers Compensation Law.  These benefits are provided by the employer or by the employer’s workers compensation insurance company.

A worker who suffers an injury or a medical condition as a result of his or her employment is entitled to full coverage for needed medical treatment, without deductibles or co-pays. An injured employee is also entitled to be treated by ANY doctor or medical provider of his or her choice.  In addition, if an injured worker is unable to work, he or she has the right to receive weekly non-taxable wage loss payments of 2/3’s of his or her regular weekly pay.      

The Law Office of Peter N. Littman is dedicated to making sure that injured workers receive all the medical treatment needed, and the maximum weekly wage loss benefits. We also make sure that if you are unable to return to your regular job, that you receive the maximum compensation for permanent conditions and disabilities.

 

Personal Injury Law

Our personal injury team is dedicated to obtaining the maximum monetary compensation to injured victims of accidents of any kind. Whether the injury be the result of an auto accident, a slip or fall, or as a result of a defective product, the injured victim is entitled to be compensated by the person whose “Negligence” has caused the injuries.  

Our office has extensive experience representing personal injury victims in both New York State and Federal Courts. Whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or by litigation and jury trial, we will work hard to make sure that you receive the maximum compensation for all your losses including medical costs, lost earnings, and for your pain and suffering.

 

Social Security Disability

Social Security is a Federal program, which exists to provide medical care and wage replacement benefits for people who have become permanently and totally disabled from any type of employment because of injuries or illnesses. The Social Security system is a complex and confusing administrative program which is paper intensive, time consuming and extremely slow.

Our office will help you through the process as quickly as possible, and make sure that your application is presented in the best way possible. If your benefits are denied, our office will apply for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, and then present your case in the best light possible when the hearing takes place.
