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.

  • If you or a loved one is the victim of a work-related accident and has suffered injuries or was seriously harmed, our accident attorneys can help. There are labor laws in New York that protect workers in these circumstances.
  • Since 1981, we have been helping injured workers in New York’s latino community receive workers’ compensation benefits. And when the case calls for it, we file personal injury lawsuits to recover pain and suffering damages on behalf of our clients. This is what we call, maximum compensation as we don’t like to leave money on the table.
  • While most lawyers try to reach a fast settlement, the attorneys at Liga de Justicia Injury Lawyers are skilled litigators. We are not afraid of insurance company lawyers. And they know it.
  • On more than one occasion, our results have been nine times their initial offer and we have won cases where other law firms had given up.

How to Receive Compensation by Claim Type

Most New York workers have two options when seeking financial compensation for work-related injury expenses:

  1. Workers’ Comp or Workers’ Compensation insurance.
  2. Personal injury claims or demands.

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. 💰

✅ Get the help you need to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve and that your workers’ comp claim does not get denied.
Ask our New York work accident attorneys. Serving New York, Bronx, Long Island, Queens & Brooklyn.

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.

What Can Be Recovered in a Personal Injury Claim?

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:

  • Past and future medical expenses.
  • Medication costs, transportation costs, and other treatment-related expenses
  • Loss of income, both past and future
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional stress
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

I would like to thank everyone involved in the resolution of my case. Initially Mr. Mangano was of utmost help in deciding the best course of action that would be beneficial to me. As this was my first lawsuit ever in my life it can seem a bit like being ‘lost in the woods’ FMM/Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers excelled in this regard. Claudia, Janine and Mr. Mangano were very useful and very prompt on each occasion and for every question I had. Although I don’t plan to have any more claims of this nature, but you never know! You will be the first call I make when the need arises.

What are the Most Common Causes of On-the-job Accidents?

These fall into four broad categories:

  1. For unsafe acts (such as failure to wear proper protective gear) or for violation of OSHA procedures.
  2. Hazardous conditions in the work environment, such as slippery floors, defective machinery, faulty installation of scaffolding, tents or awnings.
  3. Worker’s own risk, due to fatigue or failure to pay due attention,
  4. Personal conditions such as stress due to a personal issue.

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.

✅ Under certain circumstances, you could pursue a personal injury claim and receive far more money than with workers’ comp alone.

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.

Work Accidents We See More Frequently in New York

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.

Do I Need a Work Accident Lawyer after being Injured on the Job in New York?

☑️ 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.
