Ugalde & Rzonca, LLP

This firm was founded to protect the rights of people injured at work and to defend the disabled. This is the heart of the firm’s practice. As we have grown to one of the largest firms in New York handling Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability we have not forgot about what has made our firm successful giving each client the personal attention they deserve. Experience, knowledge and trust solidify our reputation. We appear daily at the Worker’s Compensation Board and have a reputation for fighting aggressively for our clients and obtaining every last cent. As a result, we constantly obtain favorable decisions. Each year, our attorneys represent thousands of clients before the Workers Compensation Board and Social Security Administration to obtain maximum benefits for our clients. Judges know us and insurance carriers know us. Our firm has the advantage of an established Workers Compensation and Social Security benefits department working side by side. This benefit is immeasurable since many people as a result of on the job accidents are unable to ever return to work. By helping our clients apply for Social Security Disability, we are able to obtain additional income for our clients that will supplement the difference between their Worker’s Compensation check and what they were earning before their accident. In addition, we provide free legal counseling from our of counsel personal injury attorneys who are available to answer all questions regarding possible third-party actions. Many times, you can have a personal injury case in addition to a Worker’s Compensation claim out of the same accident. Many times our experts are able to discover potential lawsuits that other attorneys failed to realize. This is important, as some statute of limitations are as short as 90 days for filing a claim! We speak Spanish, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and give free consultations and meet with clients in either of our three fully staffed offices
