Suffering an on-the-job injury can be a harrowing experience. In addition to the pain and discomfort of the injury itself, there are often worries about keeping the bills paid and getting adequate medical care. To top it off, the injured worker is most often forced to deal with the red tape and bureaucracy of an insurance company who is choosing the doctors and controlling the amount of benefit checks, if any, that are issued to the injured worker.

Attorney Allen J. Tishman will protect your legal rights. If you live in Brooklyn or any other part of New York City, call Allen Tishman for problems with:

• Workers' Compensation

Protecting the rights of working people:
New York's workers' compensation laws provide protection for people who become injured while working in the line and scope of their employment. Occupational diseases and gradual injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome are also covered. New York work injury laws cover every type of employee in every type of job, including factory workers, office workers, supervisors, clean-up crew workers, computer technicians, heavy equipment operators and others.

Allen Tishman understands what it is like to suffer from a work injury and has the experience and knowledge to guide you through the process while protecting your legal rights.

“We know what questions to ask your own doctors to prove you have been injured at work. If you need to see a special doctor for examination, we can refer you to an expert qualified to assess your work injury. "

Time is of the essence:
Workers' compensation insurance companies know that you are facing certain time limits in protecting your rights, and they know that you can lose some of your legal rights if you are not careful about how you handle your on-the-job injury.

Allen Tishman can take steps to ensure that your benefit checks are calculated at the proper amount, as well as the amount of your final settlement. He will also fight for your right to appropriate medical care.

Disability can strike anyone:
Nobody ever expects to become disabled, but it can happen in an instant. A traffic accident, an on-the-job injury, a catastrophic illness, a reaction to medication, a heart attack, a stroke – any one of these can result in a musculoskeletal, cardiac, respiratory, urologic, muscle, psychological or mental impairment or other condition that can prevent the victim from working. Whatever the condition or the cause, if you or a family member are no longer able to work, you may be entitled to benefits.

Unfortunately, the initial application for disability benefits is often routinely denied by the Social Security Administration. Attorney Tishman understands the devastating financial and emotional impact this can have, not just on the disabled person, but on the entire family. However simple and straightforward the initial application may have seemed, the appellate process is highly technical and often overwhelmingly complex for non-lawyers.

If your initial claim is denied, your appeal will involve a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. At this point you will need an attorney -- but not just any attorney. You will need a highly experienced Social Security disability attorney well-versed in the law and thoroughly familiar with the intricacies of procedural law that will govern your appeal.
