How Injured Workers Can Receive Compensation

Workers in Long Island may have more than one option to get compensation. You may be able to receive worker’s comp, file a lawsuit for personal injuries, or both.

1️⃣ Workers’ Compensation Case:

Covers medical expenses and part of your lost wages or salary. You may also qualify for disability benefits, Social Security payments, or supplemental insurance.

2️⃣ Personal Injury Claims:

A personal injury case goes a step further, allowing you to recover for all losses, including pain and suffering. Drivers and workers involved in construction accidents in particular, fall into this category more often.

The claims process can be difficult to navigate. They have many different procedures, prerequisites, and filing deadlines. Working with a personal injury attorney is a must.

And you may qualify for both. 💰

✔︎ That is why it is vital to speak with a knowledgeable and experienced Long Island work injury lawyer.

Ask our New York work accident attorneys. Serving New York, Bronx, Long Island, Queens & Brooklyn.

✅ Don’t take chances with your future. Get the help you need to make sure your workers’ comp claim isn’t denied and that you recover every dollar the law allows.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Claim

Identifying recoverable damages from an accident at work demands a good understanding of the injuries sustained. Our Long Island injury attorneys will walk you through the process and give you a clear picture of what you may be entitled to.

In personal injury cases, these damages could include:

Past and future medical expenses – everything from hospital bills to follow-up care.
Medication, transportation, and treatment costs – the small but necessary expenses that add up.
Lost income – verifiable wages you’ve missed and future earnings if your injury affects your ability to work.
Pain and suffering – the physical impact your injury takes on daily life.
Emotional stress – the anxiety, frustration, and difficulties caused by the accident.
Scarring or disfigurement
Loss of consortium – if your injury affects your relationship with a spouse or partner.
Loss of enjoyment of life – for the things you can no longer do or enjoy the way you used to.

Unlike many firms that rush into quick settlements, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know we’re serious. That’s why we secured verdicts up to nine times higher than their first offers. And why we won cases other firms had already given up on.

The attorneys at Liga De Justicia/FKM made the process of my case very easy. Bill Ferro, along with his staff, took the time and steps necessary to make everything work in my favor, and in addition to being honest, they always kept me informed of any changes. I was delighted with the efficient and professional way they worked, the attorneys, paralegals and secretaries all made me feel confident and at home.

Causes of Workplace Accidents in Long Island

Accidents can happen anywhere in Long Island. You might work at a Brentwood restaurant or be a deliverista in Hauppauge. You could even be working at a bodega in Queens. But no one should ever have to put their life or health at risk just to make a living.

Workplace accidents can happen in many ways, but they often fall into four main categories:

For unsafe acts like not wearing proper protective gear or ignoring OSHA procedures.
Hazardous work conditions slippery floors, faulty machinery, or improperly installed scaffolding, tents, or awnings
Worker-related risks, accidents caused by fatigue or momentary inattention.
Personal conditions stress or distractions due to a personal issue.

Common Work Accidents in Long Island

Ladder Falls: Ladder falls are a big problem for maintenance workers, painters and carpenters. These accidents often happen because ladders aren’t kept in good shape or they set them up near objects that can cause a fall.

Trapped Under or Between Heavy Machinery or Objects: Countless workers are critically injured or killed after being caught by beams, lumber, awnings, bulldozers, or trucks.

Falls from Heights: These are especially dangerous for roofers and construction workers when falling from scaffolding, roofs, or ladders.

Overexertion: This is is a common issue for electricians, truck drivers, and warehouse workers. They often strain themselves lifting heavy equipment, shovels, furniture, large boxes, power tools, or tires.

Trips, Slips and Falls: Accidents can happen on wet, slippery surfaces or poorly maintained areas. Particularly on warehouses, loading docks, and on construction sites.

Struck by Moving Objects / Forklift Accidents: A common hazard in construction sites, stockrooms, and freight and logistics companies.

Other Serious Injuries: Spinal cord injuries, chemical burns, eye injuries, and hearing loss.

Car and Motorcycle Accidents: Truck drivers and delivery workers (“deliveristas”) are frequently hurt on-the-job in collisions, rollovers, and bike run-overs.

Retail & Food Industry Accidents: Injuries in bodegas, supermarkets, restaurants, and other retail businesses are frequent and often severe.

We live and work here too. We know the neighborhoods, we know the work, and we know how to stand up for our neighbors when accidents happen.

Do You Need a Work Accident Lawyer After Being Injured on the Job in Long Island?

You may think you can handle the worker’s comp claim yourself.

Maybe your “jefe” told you not to worry about it. He will pay for everything. Too often, clients call us after their employer refused to pay for treatment.

☑️ And Workers’ compensation insurance will ease some of the economic hardship you face after an accident. But it’s not much, and it’s not easy to get.

Insurance usually benefits employers and contractors more. Insurance companies aren’t in the business of handing out money. And you don’t know how this process works.

Missed deadlines, mistakes when filing your claim can leave you with a denied claim. Sometimes you may only receive part of what you deserve.

The adjuster will send you to an independent medical examination where they will find reasons to lowball your claim. That’s why having an attorney in your corner is so important.

☑️ Consulting with a Long Island work accident attorney is a smart move. It’s free. It does not create an obligation. And you are better informed before making a decision.

✅ One more thing: If our top-rated Long Island injury lawyers are able to file a lawsuit, they’ll let you know. And how much more your case is worth.
