Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ Compensation provides critical support to employees injured on the job. At Wugman & Wugman, P.C., we are committed to helping you secure the full range of benefits you’re entitled to under the law.
Injured workers may qualify for:
- Monetary benefits to compensate for lost wages, future earning potential, or permanent disability.
- Medical benefits for treatment related to the workplace injury or occupational illness. Authorized treatments must align with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board Medical Treatment Guidelines and be deemed causally related to the injury or condition.
- Death benefits for surviving dependents of workers who suffered fatal injuries on the job.
It’s important to note that Workers’ Compensation law does not provide benefits for pain and suffering.
