How much can a New York City personal injury lawyer help me recover?

At Proner & Proner, our Bronx workers’ compensation lawyers realize how much of a setback a work injury is—whether you can’t work at all or can’t earn what you did before the injury, workers’ compensation benefits are designed to make up the difference. Your benefits package should include:

  • Medical expenses, including co-pays and deductibles,
  • About 2/3 of your lost wages,
  • Potential permanent disability benefits,
  • Partial benefits if you are able to perform light duty work or earn wages that are less than you earned before the injury or illness.

The type of work injury involved is largely irrelevant—as long as you were injured because of conditions at work, and you were an employee at the time, the workers’ compensation system should provide benefits. Some examples of claims we handle include:
