Excellent professional detail service from beginning to the end. The process was explained to us by Roy and his staff in detail. I was given a updates every month and the process was very smooth. Never had to wait for someone to pick up the phone or “Get back to me.” I recommend this firm for all your needs. Mark C.

Roy and his staff handled my parents’ estate. They were very thorough and professional. Their guidance, kindness and patience were a great help during this difficult time. Crista. B.

Roy, Susan, Matt & staff have delivered great results for me in two separate automobile personal injury matters. [...] J&J scrutinized case details that other lawyers had missed or wrongly deemed inconsequential that ultimately led settlement amounts more than double what was initially offered. You owe it to yourself to contact them for a consult first if your current lawyer is advising a quick settlement. C. Crespo

The entire process was made as simple as possible for me by Eric. I felt I was in good hands. Each step of my legal journey was explained to me clearly by Eric. He always took my phone calls and made me fell like I was an important client of his. Could not ask for more. Michele. P.

I bought a new house and had Roy do my two closings. Both were done in the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. Everything went smooth. Can't say enough nice things about Roy and his staff. Plenty of correspondence back and forth and all was done without any problems. Highly recommend Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab. Evan B.

I recently closed on my home, and Roy made the process as easy as possible. They kept me informed and provided me with updates along the way. I cannot recommend them enough! Jaime P.

Definitely who you want to choose for a personal injury case no matter what it is very professional and I was handled like family very informative throughout the whole process Mr. Roy is the man I couldn’t ask for more! Mustafa A.

Roy is the best - was technically sound and extremely hard working. Had a great experience with the entire firm. Highly Recommend! Corey B.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits

What Benefits Are Available through Workers’ Compensation?

If you have been injured on the job and are eligible to file a claim for workers’ compensation, you stand to receive benefits to help replace your lost wages and to pay for the medical treatment you require. It is important to understand the different types of benefits are available, as well as knowing the full extent of benefits that you are entitled to receive. Here is a brief overview of the different types of workers’ compensation benefits:

Your workers’ compensation claim can include payment for any and all treatments which are deemed to be medically necessary for your injury. This can include emergency medical treatment and hospitalization, diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRIs and blood work, as well as physical therapy, chiropractic care and any other type of treatment you may require to achieve the fullest possible recovery. You can additionally receive prescription medications and medical devices which may be necessary for continued treatment of your condition. The medical workers’ compensation benefits can continue until the point when your physician determines that you have reached the maximum medical improvement (MMI), the stage at which your illness or injury is not expected to improve any further even with continued treatment.

Cash Benefits for Disability

The amount you can receive in cash benefits is calculated at two-thirds of your average weekly wage, but this figure is modified by your disability rating, which is a term used to refer to a numerical percentage of how disabled you are as a result of your injury or illness. Simply put, if you are totally disabled, your disability rating would be assigned as 100 percent, while if you are only partially disabled you might receive a rating of 50 percent, or more or less depending on the severity and scope of your impairment. For example, if you normally earn $800 per week and are 100 percent disabled, your cash benefits may be computed at $533.33 per week, while if you receive a rating of 50 percent the benefit would be $400 per week. If you are permanently partially disabled and can return to work only in a limited capacity, you can receive benefits at a rate of two-thirds of the difference between your previous pay and the amount you are now receiving.

Death Benefits for On-the-Job Accidents

In the event that you have lost a loved one in an accident in the workplace, your family may be eligible to receive death benefits. This can include up to $6,000 in payment for funeral expenses, as well as cash benefits in the value of two-thirds of your loved one’s average weekly wage for the year preceding the fatal accident.

Maximize Your Workers’ Comp Benefits

Many people who have been injured at work and are filing for workers’ comp make a mistake in thinking that the fact that they are entitled to receive a certain amount of benefits means that they will receive that amount. The reality is that there is no guarantee that your claim will be approved for the full amount you are due, and in fact the insurance company is likely to use any available excuse to minimize or even deny your claim. You need an experienced Long Island personal injury attorney on your side to help you prepare your claim, represent you throughout the process and fight to maximize the amount you finally receive in benefits.
