Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. announced this month an expansion of its workers’ compensation legal practice to address a sustained increase in workplace injury claims across multiple industries in the New York metropolitan area. The development reflects a strategic adjustment by the firm to allocate additional legal resources toward workers’ compensation matters involving construction, transportation, healthcare, and municipal employment. The expansion is intended to improve case capacity and procedural efficiency while maintaining compliance with state workers’ compensation regulations.
“Workplace injury claims involve strict statutory timelines and administrative procedures that differ from other areas of civil litigation,” said Brian Mittman, attorney at Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. “The firm has adjusted internal staffing and case management processes to ensure these matters are handled with the level of attention required under the workers’ compensation system.”
Founded in 1979, Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. operates as a professional corporation specializing in personal injury and workers’ compensation law. The firm employs a team of attorneys and support staff who manage claims filed through the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board and related administrative bodies. Its practice includes representing individuals injured in workplace accidents, occupational exposure cases, and claims involving repetitive stress injuries.
Workers’ compensation law in New York operates as a no-fault system, designed to provide medical coverage and wage replacement benefits to employees who are injured in the course of their employment. Claims are governed by procedural rules that require timely notice to employers, formal filings with the state board, and ongoing documentation of medical treatment. Disputes may arise regarding the extent of injury, degree of disability, or duration of benefits, often requiring formal hearings before administrative law judges.
The firm’s expanded focus includes additional internal review processes for medical records, employment documentation, and insurance filings. These procedures are intended to ensure that claims submissions align with statutory requirements and evidentiary standards. Attorneys working in this area coordinate with treating physicians, vocational experts, and administrative officials as part of the adjudication process.
In addition to direct representation, Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. closely monitors legislative and regulatory developments that affect workers’ compensation law. Periodic updates to benefit rates, medical treatment guidelines, and administrative rules can alter how claims are evaluated and resolved. The firm incorporates these updates into its internal training and case assessment protocols.
Workers’ compensation cases may intersect with third-party personal injury claims when workplace injuries involve defective equipment, motor vehicle accidents, or unsafe premises controlled by parties other than the employer. In such instances, claims may proceed through separate legal channels, each governed by different standards of proof and recovery. The firm maintains internal separation of these matters to ensure procedural compliance within each forum.
Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. reports that the current expansion does not alter statutory fee structures established under New York workers’ compensation law. Attorney fees in these cases remain subject to approval by the Workers’ Compensation Board, and compensation is contingent upon formal adjudication or settlement. These requirements are intended to preserve regulatory oversight and transparency within the system.
The firm maintains offices serving clients throughout the metropolitan region and manages cases before administrative venues statewide. Its attorneys are admitted to practice in New York and handle filings and hearings required under state law.
