POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – January 21, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Markhoff & Mittman, P.C., announced an update to its workers’ compensation legal practice to reflect recent administrative and procedural changes affecting injured employees seeking benefits through the New York workers’ compensation system. The update applies to matters handled by the firm in the Hudson Valley region, including cases originating in and around Poughkeepsie, and is intended to align case preparation with current filing, hearing, and documentation requirements.
“Our responsibility is to ensure that case handling reflects the rules and timelines currently in effect so claims can be evaluated on their merits,” said Brian Mittman, partner at Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. He noted that internal reviews were conducted to address recent guidance issued by the Workers’ Compensation Board and to adjust internal workflows accordingly.
Workers’ compensation law in New York is governed by a statutory framework that sets out eligibility standards, benefit categories, and dispute resolution procedures for employees who are injured in the course of employment. These types of claims may involve medical treatment authorization, temporary or permanent disability classifications, and wage replacement calculations. Administrative updates and procedural clarifications issued by the state can affect how evidence is presented and how hearings are scheduled.
As part of the update, Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. reviewed its intake and documentation processes to ensure that medical records, employer reports, and wage statements are assembled in accordance with current board requirements. The law firm also evaluated internal timelines used for filing notices, responses, and appeals so that matters proceed within prescribed deadlines. These steps are intended to support consistent compliance with applicable regulations.
Established in 1977, Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. focuses its legal practice on representing individuals in workers’ compensation and related personal injury matters. The firm operates with a team of attorneys and support staff who manage cases from initial claim filing through administrative hearings and appeals, where applicable. Its practice involves interaction with employers, insurance carriers, and state agencies responsible for administering benefits.
Workers compensation cases can arise from a wide range of workplace incidents, including repetitive stress injuries, occupational illnesses, and acute accidents. Each category may involve different evidentiary considerations, such as medical causation opinions or employment history records. The firm’s updated approach emphasizes documenting these elements in a manner consistent with current administrative expectations.
In addition to procedural updates, the firm continues to monitor legislative activity and board announcements that may affect benefit structures or dispute resolution processes. Periodic internal reviews are conducted when statutory amendments or regulatory guidance are issued. These reviews are intended to keep attorneys informed of changes that could influence case strategy or client advisement.
Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. also maintains informational resources that outline general aspects of the workers’ compensation process, including claim initiation, benefit types, and hearing procedures. These materials are periodically reviewed to reflect changes in law or administration. The firm has indicated that further updates will be made available as additional guidance is released by state authorities.
