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.

New York Workers Comp Benefits: What You Need to Know

If you’ve been injured at work in New York, you may have to file a workers comp claim to receive benefits from your employer. A work injury can leave you unable to return to work for an extensive period of time. During this time, you may incur medical expenses for the treatment of your injury or lose wages from missing work.

Understanding the various benefits associated with New York workers comp is essential if you hope to file a claim and win your case. If you have no experience with the claims process, a New York workers comp lawyer from Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab, PC can help.

Cash Benefits

Cash benefits are awarded for New York work injuries if your injury extends beyond fourteen days. Depending on the extent of your work injuries, you can receive wage replacement for the time you’ve taken out of work to recover.

Medical Benefits

When you’re injured at work in New York, you’ll receive full coverage for any medical expenses related to treating your work injury. Your treating physician will determine your medical expenses, and the New York Workers Compensation Board must approve the physician you see. You may, however, see a physician of your choice if you’re injured in an emergency.

As long as you follow your doctor’s orders and receive all requested treatment through the supported facilities, your expenses will be fully covered.

Supplemental Benefits

Supplemental benefits are awarded to workers who were injured before 1979. These supplemental benefits are to help injured victims and their families adjust to the rising costs of living in New York.

If you were classified as permanently disabled because of a work injury before Jan. 1, 1979 or if you’re a widower receiving death benefits whose spouse died in a work injury before Jan. 1, 1979, then you may be eligible for supplement benefits.

Death Benefits

When your loved one dies in a workplace accident, you have the right to collect death benefits on their behalf. Death benefits will equal two-thirds of the deceased worker’s weekly wage for the year before they died. Death benefits can be collected for life or until a spouse gets remarried. Surviving children can collect death benefits if the deceased didn’t leave a surviving spouse.
