The Firm Correctional Officers Trust: Representation for NYS DOCCS Claims
New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision correctional officers represent more than 65 percent of The Battiloro Law Group’s clientele. This concentration is not incidental. NYS DOCCS claims involve unique legal, medical, and procedural issues that require focused experience and institutional knowledge.
The Battiloro Law Group is built to handle these complexities. For more than 15 years, our firm has successfully represented correctional officers in workers’ compensation matters, securing significant recoveries and settlements through disciplined preparation and informed advocacy.
Injures sustained during inmate assaults involving synthetic drugs such as K2
Injuries caused while responding to inmate suicide attempts, including lifting and removal of bodies
Stabbing and weapon-related assaults by inmates
Use-of-force incidents involving noncompliant or untreated inmates who become violent
Correctional officers represented by The Battiloro Law Group benefit from the firm’s long-established professional relationships within the workers’ compensation system.
We have developed rapport with the New York State Insurance Fund, workers’ compensation judges, and defense counsel through years of ethical and consistent advocacy. These relationships are built on credibility and preparation, not shortcuts. As a result, matters are handled with professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency.

In New York workers’ compensation cases, judicial decisions often influence how future claims involving the same worker are evaluated. A poorly handled case can affect subsequent claims, while a well-prepared case can strengthen future outcomes.
The Battiloro Law Group maintains a strong trial record on behalf of correctional officers. Most recently, the firm achieved a significant victory concerning the handling of Schedule Loss of Use settlements for correctional officers. This level of success is the result of careful preparation, strategic litigation, and a long-term view of each client’s interests.
At The Battiloro Law Group, only attorneys negotiate and settle claims. While our support staff plays an essential role, settlement negotiations are handled exclusively by attorneys with a deep understanding of NYS DOCCS claims.
Our attorneys are experienced in negotiating complex matters, including multiple claims with overlapping injuries and coordinated settlements prior to retirement. We understand that the financial outcome of your claim directly impacts your future and treat every negotiation accordingly.
Allowing our firm to represent you is both a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously. Monetary recovery under the workers’ compensation system is a legal right, and we approach each claim with the preparation and discipline required to protect that right.
Our track record reflects years of focused work, consistent results, and strong client satisfaction. We welcome the opportunity to continue advocating for correctional officers across New York and to maintain the trust placed in our firm by current and future clients.
