Bronx Workers’ Compensation Attorney

In a Workers’ Compensation claim, virtually any injury or illness that is caused by some aspect of your employment may be covered. We say “may” because the insurance carriers and self-insured employers will often deny any non-routine case or cases where they feel they can dispute the cause or the connection to your employment. At McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson, & Riordan, LLP, our knowledgeable and experienced Workers’ Compensation attorneys are well versed in all areas of the law and practice in all state and federal courts in New York, as well as before federal, state and local administrative agencies.

If you have been hurt on the job and have lost time from work, you may qualify to receive a portion of your lost wages and medical expenses. We are dedicated to protecting people like you who are injured on the job and work our hardest to see that you are justly compensated. Our Bronx Workers’ Compensation attorneys are here to help you navigate through the claim process.
