Brooklyn Workers' Compensation Lawyer - Samantha Kucher

From Kucher Law Group - Brooklyn Workers' Compensation Lawyer maps out what happens after a job injury in Brooklyn and how New York’s no-fault workers’ comp system can cover medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits. Featuring Michael Roitman and the team’s approach across Kings County, this episode frames the real-world stakes—medical bills, missed paychecks, and the pressure insurers can apply when you’re trying to recover.

Next, the conversation walks through the critical first steps in the first 48 hours, including getting care from an authorized provider and why documentation matters—like the CMS-1500 (replacing the older C-4) and written notice under New York Workers’ Compensation Law Section 18 within 30 days. You’ll also hear practical Brooklyn touchpoints—NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn (150 55th Street), The Brooklyn Hospital Center (121 DeKalb Avenue), and Kings County Hospital Center (451 Clarkson Avenue)—plus the kinds of early mistakes that can trigger delays, disputes, or denials.

The episode then demystifies what workers’ compensation can pay and how benefits are calculated, including medical coverage and weekly cash benefits at two-thirds of average weekly wages, with 2025 caps like $1,222.42/week (and a $325/week minimum). It breaks down permanent disability categories like schedule loss of use under Section 15(3) (including examples like 312 weeks for total loss of an arm), death benefits, and why the system doesn’t pay for pain and suffering—while still offering meaningful financial protection during recovery.

Finally, you’ll learn how claims move through the Brooklyn District Office at One Pierrepont Plaza / 300 Cadman Plaza West, what to expect from forms like the employer’s C-2F and the employee C-3, and why some claims get contested. The discussion highlights additional options when someone else caused the injury—third-party cases, product defects, vehicle crashes, subcontractor negligence—and the added leverage construction workers may have under New York Labor Law Section 240 (Scaffold Law), with the Kucher Law Group team (Samantha Kucher, Michael Roitman, Alex Rybakov) emphasizing how to protect benefits from day one and when to call (929) 563-6780 for a free consultation.
