I’ve been trying to do some research on my own before I make any big decisions about my claim. My accident happened a few months ago off Ocean Parkway, and while my employer is paying for the medical stuff so far, I have this nagging feeling that I’m not getting the full picture regarding my lost wages and potential long-term issues. I started poking around on the NYS Workers' Compensation Board site to try and understand the difference between permanent partial disability and total disability, but honestly, the legal jargon is giving me a headache. It’s just page after page of PDFs and complex classifications. I stumbled across a site that actually broke things down in plain English, it was
https://www.workerscompensationattorneylaw.com/, and it made me realize that I probably need to talk to someone instead of just reading myself into circles. Has anyone here gone it alone without a lawyer for a non-catastrophic injury, or is that just asking for trouble down the line when it comes to calculating the settlement?
