Understanding Worker Compensation

Workers’ compensation, often called “workers’ comp,” is a safety net for employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. It offers crucial benefits like coverage for medical expenses, compensation for lost wages, and rehabilitation support. In New York, employers must carry insurance for such instances, governed by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board. The claim process involves several steps: reporting the injury, filing a claim, and attending required hearings.

Begin your journey to recovery with the best. Contact Stanley Law Office now to simplify your workers’ comp process with our Watertown personal injury lawyer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stanley Law has handled my slip and fall case. It came to a close this week. I was always able to get my questions answered. I had many during the process. I often reached out to attorney Tim Welch, he always responded promptly. Connor ( Para Legal) was added to the case a while ago. He has also done an excellent job. Whenever I reached out I got answers from Connor. I was treated very well throughout this case. I would never hesitate to use this team of professionals again, if the need arises? Greatly appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shannon and Amanda are FANTASTIC to work with!! I have been battling with SSA for a LONG time and these two ladies made it much less stressful for me. Both are QUICK to respond to emails, texts and callbacks. Shannon explained EVERYTHING from the filing process, to the appeals process and everything in-between in LAYMAN'S TERMS. If ever a disability attorney will be needed again for either family or friends, Shannon and Amanda will be the FIRST and ONLY recommendation from me!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to thank Shannon Doan, her team, and the Stanley Law Offices for the work they did on my son's disability case.  Not having to deal with all the paperwork required by Social Security was a welcomed relief as we navigated all the changes in our lives.  From the first meeting where Shannon explained the process and the possible outcomes, we felt we were in good hands.  Throughout the waiting, Shannon made contact every few weeks to see if we had any questions or new information that could strengthen his case.  After an initial denial, my son was awarded disability thanks to the work that Shannon and the Stanley Law office did on his behalf.  Thanks again!
