The firm handles three interconnected practice areas: Social Security law, workers compensation, and personal injury, which together cover many of the situations where a person's health problems intersect with their legal rights. For clients in The Bronx and surrounding areas of New York City, having access to a firm that handles all three of these areas under one roof can simplify what is otherwise a complicated and stressful process.

O'Connor Law helps clients file initial Social Security disability applications, respond to SSA requests for additional information, and pursue appeals when claims are denied. On the workers compensation side, the firm assists injured workers in filing claims with the New York State Workers Compensation Board and pursuing the wage replacement and medical benefits they are entitled to under state law. The firm's personal injury practice allows it to also take on cases involving negligence, such as car accidents or slip and fall incidents, that may have caused or worsened a client's disability.

New clients typically reach out to O'Connor Law after experiencing an injury, receiving a disability diagnosis, or having a Social Security claim denied. The firm starts by reviewing the details of the situation to identify which legal claims may be available and how they relate to one another. For Social Security cases, this means evaluating medical records, work history, and functional limitations against SSA criteria. For workers comp and personal injury matters, the firm investigates how the incident occurred and what benefits or compensation may be recoverable. Throughout the process, the firm manages the legal filings and keeps clients updated on the status of their case.

O'Connor Law serves clients in The Bronx and throughout New York City, including clients from Westchester County and other surrounding areas of the greater metropolitan region.
