In any workplace injury case, accident victims often have many questions and not many answers. What recourse do I have? Who is responsible for my medical care if I'm injured in a New York City construction accident? Will I be compensated for my lost wages?
These are all critical questions that require serious attention and prompt answers. Getting the information you need from your employer can sometimes be difficult, however, and an experienced lawyer's assistance can help ensure that your interests are protected.
The attorneys at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., have represented hundreds of clients in various construction site accident claims.
In any workplace injury case, employees can seek workers' compensation benefits. In these cases, you would work directly with your employer and the company's workers' comp insurance company to obtain coverage for lost wages, medical bills, and treatment.
In many construction site injury cases, however, employees can pursue additional damages in a third-party personal injury claim. These cases are separate from workers' compensation claims and do not limit your ability to receive workers' comp benefits.
Third-party claims are not brought against your employer or co-worker; they are brought against others who contributed to an accident. Contractors, owners of job sites, and others are frequent subjects of third-party claims in construction site accidents.
Our attorneys have a strong track record of obtaining favorable results in third-party claims. Contact our Manhattan law office to discuss your case at a free initial consultation. We accept all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will only pay attorney's fees if we are successful.
