New York Workplace Injuries Attorneys

While many workplace injuries tend to be minor, more serious injuries such as permanent disability and death do occur. Fortunately, when an injury is sustained in the workplace, workers have a legal right to pursue compensation by making a claim through workers’ compensation.

Workers’ compensation provides benefits to employees who sustain injuries by accident arising out of and in the course of their employment.

All employers are required to keep workers’ compensation insurance. These laws exist to protect both the worker and the employer in the event of a work injury. They ensure that employees like you who are harmed while on the job receive medical treatment such as consultations, physical therapy, surgery, hospitalization, drug treatment, and nursing care, as well as physical and vocational rehabilitation services to relieve and cure the effects of your injury.

Some of The More Common Injuries Workers’ Compensation Covers

• Worsened preexisting injuries, such as back injuries.
• Diseases contracted in the workplace due to repeated or prolonged exposure to dangerous substances such as asbestos.
• Mental or physical work-related stress.
• Injuries caused by machinery.
• Slip and fall accidents.
• Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

The only time you may not be entitled to receive benefits is if the injury happened while you were intoxicated or on drugs or you were injured during the commission of a crime.

Because workers’ compensation benefits vary from state to state and job to job, it’s important that you consult with experienced New York workers’ compensation attorneys who know the law and have experience successfully handling cases like yours.
