Robert Golan, PC Shares Tips on How to Select a Long Island Work Accident Compensation Lawyer

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. - March 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Plainview, NY - With many opportunities for people to get hurt on the job, Long Island work accident compensation lawyer (http://workerscompensation-law.com/), Robert Golan, PC shares tips on how to know when to call an attorney. If an injury happens, it may be a case where the injured worker does not know what to do or what to look for in a Long Island work injury. Here are five tips to remember in case the unthinkable happens.

1. Call an attorney after any of the following:

* If the injured worker needs surgery following a workplace injury.
* If the injured worker can no longer work at the present job or cannot work regularly at any job.
* In any incident that the decision is disputed by the employer or the insurance company.
* If medical benefits are denied or are disputed.

2. If the injuries are severe enough to change the injured worker’s lifestyle drastically, a Long Island Workers’ Compensation attorney can become an advocate to ensure the injured worker receives justified medical care and compensation. If the change is permanent, the attorney can advise about filing for Social Security disability payments.

3. An attorney is essential if the work dispute is with the injured worker’s employer or the employer's insurance company. The process varies among states and usually involves complex procedures. Being without an attorney puts the employee at a disadvantage, so do not hesitate to call for a consultation, which is complimentary and lasts about 30-40 minutes. An attorney will likely represent the worker on a contingent basis. That means the attorney will receive a portion of any benefits that are won.

4. A Long Island work accident compensation lawyer will file a C-3 form with the New York Workers' Compensation Board and take the claim through the legal steps. Proper representation is crucial for success in these types of claims, especially if an employer tries to fault the employee for the injury.

5. What happens if the Workers' Compensation claim is appealed? The best help is an experienced Long Island work accident compensation lawyer (http://workerscompensation-law.com/firm-overview/our-expe...).
