Hurt At Work In Albany? We Fight For Injured New York Civil Servants' Rights

Injuries involving state or municipal workers in New York State's capital, Albany, are common since so many people here work for local, state or federal agencies. In most cases, such workers should be eligible to receive financial compensation for their injuries through New York's Civil Service Disability Pension program. However, obtaining such benefits can often be much harder than many people realize. That's because injured municipal workers don't automatically receive such compensation. They need to successfully apply for such benefits.

That's where we come in. The knowledgeable attorneys at Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP have decades of experience handling complicated Civil Service Disability Pension cases in Albany and throughout New York State. Many of our attorneys regularly work directly with municipal labor unions and we thoroughly understand how the system works. That's why we have such a strong track record of success. We understand how the "Tier" system works and how that can affect how much money you will receive for your Disability Pension, especially in terms of the Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS).
