My Workers Comp Claim Was Denied: Whats The Law?

The question that was recently posed to me was regarding denied workers compensation claims. Claims made for gradual work-related illnesses like cancer, heart attacks, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are rejected most of the time. Even claims for blatant workplace injuries resulting from falls, machinery malfunctions, and other work-related accidents that occur daily in New York are rejected at a very high rate. Why are the workers claims made on such injuries rejected so often? The reason is that it’s very easy for a workers compensation insurance adjuster to decide and convince the worker that the injury is not work related or the compensation desired does not fit the bill. Doctors can often make mistakes as well in the way they portray your injury in relationship to the workplace. Often, the application that one submitted has issues in itself and due to these inherit issues it will therefore get rejected.

Hiring a workers compensation lawyer from the beginning would have been the best bet but now that the claim has been denied it’s time for a legal hearing. At this point the worker will have a chance to prove their case to the doctor, to the insurance adjuster and to the Administrative Law judge. Generally they will try to offer a very conservative settlement for whatever hardships and expenses one had to endure. That is exactly why it is so important to hire an attorney for this legal hearing.

In the state of New York, a couple can get divorced without the intervention of a court of law through a divorce agreement or settlement. As long as the parties agree about the future of their property, finances and children it will be referred to as an “uncontested divorce”. This is a quick process which usually does not involve the need to appear in court. Sometimes an uncontested divorce is referred to as “on consent,” as the defendant agrees to divorce with the signing of the required documents. Other times an uncontested divorce is referred to as “on default” as the defendant does respond to a summons with a notice that is served to them.

If you would like to learn more about our local divorce process read this informative and to the point Divorce guide for residents of NY.

It is advisable for everyone to make a will at one point of their lives. The question becomes what happens if one passed away without leaving a will. New York State law refers to someone who died without a will as an “intestate”. Should this “intestate” have any joint or beneficiary designated accounts they will automatically pass on to the selected parties. Otherwise, a process called estate administration takes place at the Surrogate’s Court in your county. They are the ones that have jurisdiction over the estate and will distribute the assets according to New York’s intestacy laws.

First up is the surviving spouse. Before anyone get’s anything they will be entitled to the deceased’s cash (up to $25k), car (up to $25k), household items (up to$20k) and other personal valuables (up to $2,500).

Want to know what happens with the rest of the assets as well as how the surviving children our factored in? Read the brief and concise guide on Intestacy Laws: Dying With No will in NY now.
