A New York Cancer Lawyer Who Demands Justice for Clients

It's the sort of job-related illness you least expect, when construction workers, factory workers, utility workers or tunnel workers start developing serious health problems that turn out to be cancer. Job-related exposure to cancer-causing agents is exactly the sort of workplace illness case that workers compensation benefits are intended to remedy.

Nevertheless, we have many clients who come to us after developing work-related lymphoma, on-the-job lung cancer or tumors caused by work, saying their workers comp claim was denied. Even mesothelioma patients-whose condition is cancer of the lung lining caused by asbestos exposure-are dismissed by intimidating workers compensation insurance companies. That is, until they know a serious New York cancer lawyer is involved.

Because of our high success rate, exhaustive case preparation and 80-year reputation, most workers comp adjusters don't mess with us. They typically will settle out of court, because they know full well cancer due to job duties is serious and that we mean business.

Cancer Due to Workplace Toxins Exposure Demands Tough Workers Compensation Lawyer

Studies have shown that between 2 and 8 percent of cancer cases are caused by occupational exposure. The research also says that this number may be low – there are quite a few potential carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) that have not been fully studied. Of course, workers’ compensation insurance companies tend to downplay the risk of occupational cancer to protect their bottom line. That’s why you need an experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side to fight back.
