Workers’ Compensation Matters We Handle in Albany
Some claims are straightforward, but many are not. You should contact our attorneys if:
- Your workers’ comp claim was denied or delayed.
- Your benefits are less than what you’re owed.
- You are being sent for an Independent Medical Exam (IME).
- Your employer is retaliating against you for filing a claim.
- You are considering a Section 32 settlement.
Section 32 Settlements in Albany
A Section 32 settlement allows injured workers to close their case in exchange for a lump-sum payout. These settlements can provide immediate relief, but they also permanently end your claim.
Our Albany workers’ comp lawyers will help you evaluate the pros and cons, negotiate the highest possible settlement, and protect your right to future care.
