Workplace Injury Claims

People who are injured in a construction site accident, a slip and fall at work, are exposed to toxic chemicals or are involved in other workplace accident could endure a wide array of serious injuries. A fall from scaffolding or off a roof could result in a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury. Tripping over a cord in the office or falling down the stairs could result in a fracture or joint injury. Our attorneys have experience with these sometimes-complex cases and a complete understanding of what to expect when pursuing them.

Recovering Compensation After a Workplace Accident

Most people who are injured at work realize that they may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits but are not sure how to go about applying for them. Workers' compensation is designed to provide much-needed financial support for the temporary wage loss, temporary or permanent disability, medical expenses and other costs you may incur. Our attorneys can help you with pursuing your rightful workers' compensation benefits. However, in most serious injury cases, benefits available through workers' comp are inadequate in comparison to what is necessary.

In order to maximize our client's compensation, we also look to responsible third parties, such as defective product manufacturers, contractors responsible under New York's Labor Laws 240 and 241 (covering scaffolding and ladder accidents) and other responsible parties.
