Disease Claims and Occupational injuries claims assistance
New York’s Workers’ Compensation will cover any injury or illness that is related to work activities. This is a no-fault system that assists people in paying their medical bills and making ends meet during this difficult time. This may sound pretty simple and straightforward. However, if you attempt to file a claim on your own, you will most likely be denied. Insurance companies understand that people that file their own claims are clueless to what they are entitled to. Remember, they want to pay out as little as possible.
