Workplace Injury Statistics for Brooklyn and Beyond
- Posted on: Sep 25 2014
The hard-working people of Brooklyn and the greater New York City area comprise some of the (approximately) 146,000 nonfatal workplace injuries (and illnesses) that are reported among New York private industry employers each year.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 90-percent of these cases resulted in at least one missed day of work. Brooklyn Workers Compensation doctor, Dr. Jeff J. Mollins always strives to get his patients on the road to recovery and back to work as fast as possible. Treating individuals who were injured at work is something we have been dedicated to for 25 years. We treat a variety of injuries our patients incur at their place of work, including back, shoulder and knee injuries, as well as repetitive motion/stress injuries like carpal tunnel and injuries from slips, falls and other accidents.
Regardless of the apparent severity of your injury, it’s essential to document it as soon as it happens, both with your supervisor/company and with a doctor. Even a seemingly minor injury could turn ugly if not treated. The most important thing is to report the injury immediately and visit a NYS Workers Compensation Board-certified doctor as soon as possible.
The Brooklyn office of Dr. Jeff J. Mollins is more than equipped to handle a multitude of workers compensation cases, and our office has been a neighborhood staple for more than two decades. Although we would never wish for people to get hurt on the job, it’s an unfortunate reality many are forced to face, and we know what we’re doing when it comes to properly documenting workers compensation cases- Dr. Mollins is a NYS Workers Compensation Board-certified doctor. Dr. Mollins will assess your injury and determine if treatment is warranted under workers compensation.
We offer treatment for a wide range of work-related injuries, and if you require treatment that is beyond our scope, we will refer you to specialists (who are also certified by the NYS Workers Compensation Board), such as neurologists, orthopedists, pain management etc. to supplement any treatment you receive from us.
Don’t take a chance when it comes to your health and your wealth, contact the office of Dr. Jeff Mollins, D.C. at 1-718-802-0800 for more information on how we can help treat your work injury through NYS Workers Compensation.
