A workplace injury can be devastating, but it doesn’t have to result in financial hardship. Catherine M. Stanton, a senior partner at the law firm Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano LLP, specializes in helping injured employees secure workers’ compensation benefits. She serves clients throughout New York State, including areas like New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Newburgh, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Suffolk County, and Nassau County. In addition to workers’ compensation, her legal practice encompasses Social Security Disability, medical malpractice, and personal injury cases.

Ms. Stanton is a prominent figure in the legal community, holding positions such as a member of the Board of Directors for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and Vice President of the Brehon Law Society of Nassau County. She has also served as Chair of the Workers’ Compensation and Workplace Injury Section for the American Association for Justice and as President of the Workers’ Injury & Law Advocacy Group. Furthermore, she is a member of the Injured Workers’ Bar Association, the National Academy of Social Insurance, and the New York State Bar Association.

A workers’ compensation claim offers an opportunity to obtain funds necessary for medical treatment and compensation for lost wages. Ms. Stanton not only handles all aspects of these claims, including ensuring accurate applications and challenging denials, but she also conducts seminars for both colleagues and workers.

Ms. Stanton’s dedication to her clients is evident through her Avvo “Superb” rating and her affiliation as a fellow of The College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers.
