New York State and City Disability Pensions

If you work for the State of New York or New York City government, then you are entitled to compensation if you are disabled due to a work injury or disease. However, the agencies that administer these benefits make it a tough and daunting process. A team of experienced New York State disability pension lawyers with offices in Brooklyn and throughout the state of New York will know how to deal with all the particularities these agencies request.

A disability completely changes your life and leaves behind numerous medical bills and lost wages due to the injury.

At Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C., we handle individual, group long-term, and union disability cases.

You might be entitled to certain benefits through the Veterans Administration. A Brooklyn veterans’ benefits lawyer understands how to cut through the red tape to get you on the path to receiving your just benefits.

Negligence and Accidents

There are many rules in place to keep people safe on the roads, but sometimes other people’s negligence results in damages, injuries, and even fatalities. Were you injured in a car accident due to someone’s reckless driving? Or, were you injured in a construction accident when safety rules were not followed by the company or other workers? If so, you might be entitled to compensation due to their negligence.

A Brooklyn injury attorney can fight on your behalf for justice and maximum possible compensation. Our attorneys at Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C. will do everything in their power to ensure the negligent party pays for their poor decisions. We understand that, after an accident, bills pile up and an injury may mean you cannot work and earn money, so these cases operate on a contingency-fee basis. Simply, put this means we do not receive a fee unless we win your case.
