Our New York workplace accident attorneys fight for maximum compensation for those who suffer workplace injuries, including the rights of undocumented workers.
If you have been injured on a work-related accident, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation insurance benefits, personal injury compensation, or even both.
The “jefes“, whether contractors or subcontractors, and the employers must guarantee a safe environment for their workers.
Nobody should put their life or health at risk while on the job, even if you work in a bodega, as a cab driver, making deliveries, or in a warehouse. And the law makes no distinction based on the worker’s immigration status. Everyone has rights.

Most New York workers have two options when seeking financial compensation for work-related injury expenses:
1️⃣ Under workers’ comp, you will only be able to recover the medical expenses and lost wages or salary up to a set amount. You might also be entitled to receive disability benefits, social security payments, and supplemental insurance.
2️⃣ In a personal injury claim, you have the right to recover for any and all damages sustained, including pain and suffering.
Both have very different requirements, procedures to follow and filing deadlines that must be met. And they are both quite complex, which is why we recommend having a consultation with one of our workers’ compensation attorneys. And it’s quite possible that you have a right to being awarded both compensations. 💰
If you were injured on the job, having an experienced attorney by your side is the best way to avoid costly mistakes and to do what needs to be done to protect your legal rights.
Figuring out recoverable expenses due to a work-related accident requires a thorough understanding of the type and extent of injuries suffered. Our attorneys will be able to advise you as to the likely award in your particular circumstances.
In general, the types of damages most claimed in a personal injury case include:

Regardless of its cause, most employees are entitled to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. Our attorneys can analyze your situation and walk you through your rights and your legal options.
But keep in mind that you may have more ways to recover in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
Find out if this is your case, by consulting with our experienced work accident lawyers. We can evaluate your case and look for evidence that proves you are entitled to be compensated for all of your damages.
Ladder falls: Painters and carpenters have the highest incidence of these accidents. These accidents may be due to poorly maintained or defective ladders, or they may be placed around objects that might result in a fall.
Trapped under or between heavy machinery or other objects: Each year, hundreds of workers are seriously injured or killed because they got trapped inside, under or between heavy objects such as beams, lumber, awnings, bulldozers and trucking equipment.
Falls from Heights: Roofers, in particular, are seriously hurt when they fall from heights off scaffolding, roofs, or ladders while working on construction sites.
Overexertion: This happens to electricians, truck drivers and warehouse workers when they try to lift heavy equipment, including shovels, large pieces of furniture, heavy boxes, power tools and tires.
Slips and Falls: on slippery or poorly maintained surfaces.
Struck by moving objects, Forklift accidents.
Spinal cord injuries, chemical burn injuries, eye injuries and hearing loss.
Car and Bicycle Accidents: the leading cause of on-the-job injuries among truck drivers and delivery drivers or “deliveristas” in truck accidents, rollover accidents, collisions and bicycle run-over accidents.
Accidents in Supermarkets, Warehouses, Restaurants, Bodegas, and other retail businesses.
☑️ Workers’ compensation insurance is meant to ease some of the financial stress injured workers face after an accident.
But this insurance is more protective of employers and contractors, and insurers will not readily grant you the benefits due to you. In other words, getting the money won’t be easy.
Mistakes when filing the claim, not submitting paperwork on time, errors made because you don’t know the process, all of these will create obstacles so that you get your claim denied or get partially compensated. Or you will only receive part of it.
The insurance adjuster will send you to get an independent medical examination (IME) and will try to deny your claim. After all, they are not in the business of paying you the most possible.
☑️ Hiring an attorney to help you get all of these benefits is a good idea. Plus, the consultation is free. And even more so if your “jefe” tells you they’ll take care of all your expenses. We’ve seen too many clients call because their employer no longer wants to pay for the treatment of their work-related injuries.
✅ And here’s an added benefit, our work accident attorneys will be able to tell you whether you have a personal injury case as well. Then you could recover a much larger settlement.
