Injuries at work can happen to anyone. They are not unique to any specific occupation, and can happen at any time to workers in any industry. This includes medical professionals (i.e. doctors, nurses, hospice workers, EMTs, physician assistants, radiographers, laboratory scientists, veterinarians, physical therapists, etc).
Hospital workers and those working in a health care setting are subject to significant job risks. Whether from a stressful environment, exposure to contagious patients or hazardous substances, long hours and overexertion, or a traumatic injury, you have a right to pursue Workers’ Compensation Benefits.
If you are injured while working in a medical facility, as with any work-related injury or illness, you should seek immediate medical care and notify your supervisor.
The Workers’ Compensation system is ever-changing, and MCV Law is here to help injured workers, including medical professionals, navigate the murky waters of New York Workers' Compensation Law in order to get you the medical treatment and benefits you need to get back on your feet.
We can help you build and submit your claim, compile the necessary medical evidence, and represent you in any hearings scheduled by the Workers' Compensation Board. Contact our office today to arrange a free consultation.
