New York Lawyers Handling Occupational Disease Cases

Many people develop serious medical conditions as a direct result of their employment. In cases where a direct link between the performance of your job and your medical condition can be made, you have the right to seek workers’ compensation benefits for lost wages due to time away from work and medical care to treat the condition.

These cases can be very complex because the insurance company can argue that you contracted the disease in a way that was not job related. It is important that you seek the advice of an experienced New York occupational diseases attorney who understands the law and will fight to protect your interests.
