If you were hurt on the job in Broome County — in Binghamton, Endicott, Johnson City, Vestal, Endwell, or one of the surrounding communities — you don’t need to hand your case off to a firm you’ll never meet. Many workers’ compensation practices “serve” Broome County remotely, with offices in Syracuse, Albany, or New York City. I’m based right up the road in Oneonta and I appear at the Binghamton hearing point regularly.
Rothermel & Wilson is a small, focused firm. When you hire me, I’m the attorney handling your case — not a paralegal, not a rotating cast of associates. That matters when the New York Workers’ Compensation Board schedules a hearing on short notice, when the insurance carrier’s IME comes back unfavorable, or when it’s time to negotiate a Section 32 settlement.
Local Knowledge, Real Access
Oneonta and Binghamton share the Southern Tier — the same medical providers, the same insurance carriers, and many of the same employers. I know the doctors that Broome County claimants see, the hearing officers at the Binghamton Workers’ Compensation Board office, and the tactics local carriers use. That local knowledge translates directly into faster answers, better prepared hearings, and less back-and-forth.
From Binghamton University and the hospital systems — UHS and Lourdes — to the warehouses and manufacturers in Endicott and Johnson City, I am familiar with how Broome County employers and their insurance carriers handle workers’ comp claims.
Call for a Free Consultation
Schedule a free consultation and meet with me directly — no receptionist screening, no assistant taking your details for someone else to review. Would you rather have a distant firm run your case from a call center, or would you rather sit down with the attorney who will actually stand up for you at every hearing? Call 607-432-7410 or email [email protected]. There’s no fee unless we win.
Attorney Christopher “Kip” Wilson
I grew up in Syracuse. I received a BA in Chemistry from Wesleyan University in 1996 and an MS in Chemistry from Northwestern in 1998.
For the past 20+ years I’ve lived in Oneonta, NY, with a practice focused on helping injured workers across the Southern Tier and Central New York.
My clients often come to me at the worst moment of their lives — hurt, out of work, and dealing with a system that can feel designed to wear them down. My job is to make that system work for them.
