Mazow & McCullough

If you've been bitten by a dog and you've been injured by that bite, you are entitled to compensation from either the dog owner, and/or the person who is control of that dog.

What is workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

If somebody in Massachusetts has an injury while they're at work and they are unable to earn their wages and/or require medical care, they're going to be covered for their lost wages and their medical treatment. The question or the issue of fault is irrelevant. We don't ask the question of "Was it John's fault when he fell down a flight of stairs at work, or lifted the box at work," that's not the question. The question is whether or not they were an employee, whether or not they were hurt while they were working and whether or not they are disabled from performing the functions of their job and/or require medical care, period. My name is Attorney Steven Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years we've been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker's compensation, personal injury, and Social Security disability claims.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires. My name is attorney Stephen (sp?) Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years, we’ve been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker’s compensation, personal injury, and social security disability claims.

How is compensation determined in a wrongful death claim in California?

The Roberts Law Firm

The value of a wrongful death claim is based upon the closeness of your relationship with the loved one. Its based in large part on whether or not that person is providing you financial support at the time of the death or if you could have expected financial support in the future. Its also based on whether or not there are other siblings or family members that also are sharing in the loss and the degree of what their loss is as well.

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

The compensation in a college sexual harrassent case is more difficult to assess. It depends often on the emotional injuries that the particular student, for instance, has suffered. So it would depend on how bad, for instance, the sexual harrasment was. Was there forced sexual activity? That would be a case where there might be higher emotional injuries and therefore higher damages. So it's really difficult to assess that. And I would recommend to anyone that believes they're being sexual harrased on a college campus seek the advice of an attorney so that they can help you assess whether you have a case, in the first instance and also what kind of damages could could evolve out of that case. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Can I still see my own doctor if I've been injured at work?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

"A common misconception in worker's compensation is that an injured worker is required to treat under the direction of a doctor appointed by the insurance company. That is unequivocally untrue. That a person has a right to treat with a doctor of their choosing and have that doctor direct that care and as to when they're capable of returning to work.

How much money in a workplace sexual harassment case?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

In your typical discrimination case, which includes sexual harassment, racist discrimination, gender discrimination, the primary one is economic loss. That's your loss to pay either while working at the job, meaning they failed to pay you as much as you were entitled to or after you were terminated and that's the money that you lost while you weren't working. The second is emotional injuries, pain and suffering, and that will greatly depend on, of course, how much you suffered and whether you sought psychologial or psychiatric treatment for that suffering. And there are also other types of damages that you can seek as well, such as, in certain limited cases, punitive damages and also attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harmon.

Why are insurance companies such a pain to deal with?

Proner & Proner

Insurance companies are big businesses and they have share holders and owners that they have to cater to. And they are trying to make as much money as possible and they do that in part by paying out as little as possible on claims. So if an adjuster pays out less than a case is worth, that adjuster did a good job. If they hire an attorney, that is very skilled, and the accident victim has an attorney that's not so skilled, and the defense attorney for the insurance carrier wins, that's a win for the insurance company. Because the insurance company has more money in their coffers. So insurance companies try to save money by paying out as little as possible in claims. I'm Michal Proner.

Are lost wages covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

Proner & Proner

After a motorcycle accident in New York, lost wages are not covered under the motorcycle's insurance policy because motorcycles were excluded from the no fault law. Consequently, lost wages will ultimately be realized by the party at fault through their insurance carrier, but that's going to be at the end of the claim, not at the onset. So, if you have lost wages after a motorcycle accident, you can either get that money for your lost wages through either your employer's disability policy, or in the alternative, if the accident happened while you were working, you are entitled to lost wages through a workman's comp claim.

The motorcyclist whose involved in an accident often makes the mistake of not realizing that there is a bias against him, or her. The motorcyclist thinks because I didn't do anything wrong to cause this accident, I should get fair compensation for the injuries I sustained. But the insurance adjuster says, well if there was a motorcycle involved, the motorcyclist must have done something to cause the accident and they offer less than fair compensation, resulting in an offer that's inadequate unless a skilled attorney gets involved. And that's the mistake the motorcyclist makes. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Are some car accident injuries more serious than they appear?

Proner & Proner

Normally in a car accident in New York state if somebody breaks their ankle or wrist or has a bad cut that results in scarring, they know they're badly injured and they get an attorney immediately. However, by the simple physics of a car accident, you're grabbing on to the steering wheel, you tense up, you may get a shoulder injury or a knee injury that is not diagnosed immediately, then you think it's going to go away and it doesn't go away, and eventually you need surgery for it. And then you're looking for a fair compensation because you're disabled as a result of this injury that you thought was going to go away and it didn't go away, and you're not going to get a fair compensation because it wasn't diagnosed at the time of the accident so you're better off going to a doctor giving your complaints to them immediately so it could be diagnosed. Hopefully it will be treated considerably with therapy and you'll get better. But if it's not, you need that doctor immediately and you need an attorney to get your fair compensation for the injuries you've sustained in that car accident in New York. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Are lawsuits from motorcycle accidents common in New York?

Proner & Proner

Motorcycle accident lawsuits are a rarity just because of the...most vehicles on the road are not motorcycles. But when a motorcyclist is injured in an accident, more often then not, to get fair compensation, they are going to have to file a lawsuit because the insurance carrier or the person that is paying out on the claim, they think that the motorcyclist, just by virtue of the fact that they're on a motorcycle, signifies that they are at fault. Even though the motorcyclist did nothing wrong to cause the injuries that they sustained which may be catastrophic. So to get a fair shake, the motorcyclist has to go to court to get fair compensation for the injuries they sustained. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Why are insurance companies so difficult after an accident?

Insurance companies are very difficult to deal with after an automobile accident, because they don't want to help the person who's hurt at all.

That's why you need a plaintiff personal injury lawyer.

Who is diagnosed with asbestos exposure or mesothelioma?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

People who wind up diagnosed with asbestos are the people who we look back on, who really fought and made our country great.

Should I represent myself in a car accident case?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Tom Kiley: If you're in a car accident and you have minor injuries, you can represent yourself against the insurance company, but the deck is stacked against you. Insurance adjusters are trained to pay as little as possible on claims. And although you may be bright and be a good negotiator; you don't have a point of reference with respect to the value of your claim. That's why you need an experienced attorny. He knows how to deal with the insurance company. He knows how to put your damages together and ensure that you get full compensation for the injuries that you've sustained. I'm attorny Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What is Erb's Palsy?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Erb's Palsy happens as a result of damage to the brachial plexus, which is in your chest. Many times it happens as a result of birth trauma. It can damage the nerves that run through your shoulder and down through the arm, basically depriving the person of use of their bicep and many times a dead arm that basically hangs by the side of the person and is useless.

Are lawsuits from car accidents on the rise in New York?

Car accident lawsuits are actually decreasing in New York state statically from the court administration statistics.

In most instances, the employee and the employer are not bound by oral contract, and that is a great misconception that predominantly employees have. For instance, if your boss says, "If you work till the end of the year, I guarantee you a bonus of ten thousand dollars," that is not a binding contract in the state of New York. And many employees are shocked to learn that. I would recommend that everything always be put in writing and be signed by the employee and the employer if it's concerning something as important as your compensation.

After a motorcyle accident in New York, I'm going to assume that the motorcycle accident wasn't the riders fault, and it was due to some other motor vehicle error that caused the accident, caused the injuries.

What's the #1 mistake people make after a car accident in NY?

Proner & Proner

The mistake the individual that's involved in a car accident makes if they've sustained injuries, is they believe that they will be treated fairly by the insurance carrier. You're not in their good hands, you're not their good neighbor. They're a big business that's trying to make as much as possible by collecting as much as possible in premiums and paying out as little as possible in claims. So, they don't offer you fair compensation unless a skilled attorney gets involved. And the mistakes that the individual that's involved in a car accident often makes is they think they will be treating fairly from the onset. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Should I handle my car accident claim myself?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The most important thing to remember is that an insurance company is not looking out for your best interest. You should hire an attorney. What is important is that you hire an attorney that's experienced in this area of law. You don't want to hire an attorney that practices real estate law or trust law or corporate law. You need to find an attorney that handles personal injury law. Statistics prove that settlements that are negotiated by an attorney will net a client more than settlements negotiated by the client himself or herself.

We've been helping people in the greater Boston area with automobile accident claims, workers' compensation, Social Security disability claims for the last 20 years.

If I'm injured in a car accident, what should I do first?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

First and foremost, you should take care of yourself. Call your primary care physician, schedule an appointment with your doctor, go see your doctor. Then you should call an attorney, an attorney that is qualified, an attorney that is experienced in personal injury law. You can seek the advice of an attorney at any time. However, there are time limits where claims must be filed prior to the expiration of those time limits, otherwise you will lose your rights to bring an action against the responsible party.

What should I NOT DO regarding employment agreements?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

The number one mistake someone makes when it comes to employment agreements is first not reading it themselves and secondly not having it reviewed by an attorney so that they fully understand every aspect of the agreement. I find that many employees are so excited when they first get a job that they shove aside the agreement and sign it without thinking about it, assuming that everything would be fine with their employment, and when it comes to their compensation at the end of the year, or when it comes to a situation that results in a separation of the employment. They are shocked to learn about how limited their rights are in the different respects pursuant to the agreementthat they sign five years. My name is Walker Harnett, I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm, if you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination. We are eager to speak with you, please give us a call.

I didn't feel pain from a car accident right away, can I still sue?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

Most people don't feel acute pain immediately after the accident. Most people don't run to a doctor immediately after an accident. Most people will go home, take some Tylenol, take some Advil, and figure that the pain will go away by the next day. And most people, after two, three, four days, will start becoming concerned about the pain. It's usually at that point that someone that's been injured in a car accident, albeit not acutely injured in an automobile accident, but someone that's been injured in a car accident, will seek medical treatment. The best piece of advice is to call your primary doctor, seek medical treatment, don't worry about how the medical bills will be paid, because they will be paid through the personal injury and protection benefit provision of the policy of the vehicle that you were in, or the vehicle that struck you, if you were a pedestrian.
