Long Island Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Have You suffered an injury on the job?

Almost every type of employment exposes workers to some type of injury due to an accident.  Even office workers can slip and fall in the safety of the corporate headquarters.  Some jobs expose workers to significant dangers.  Construction site accidents are quite common.  Assembly line malfunctions, mechanical failures, negligence on the part of co-workers, and myriad other situations subject workers to hazards and risk of injury.  If you have been injured on the job, you need to contact an experienced Long Island personal injury lawyer for help in understanding your options for recovering costs associated with your injuries.

Workers Compensation laws have been enacted to help workers who have been injured or disabled on the job recover their costs for medical expenses, rehabilitation services, and so forth.  Usually these benefits are not sufficient to fully compensate for all the damages from a work-related accident.  Although in New York an employee cannot sue an employer for damages sustained due to a work-related accident, it may be possible to bring a suit against other parties who were negligent.  In this way it is possible to recover damages due to pain and suffering, additional lost wages, additional medical and loss of spousal support.
