Workers are hurt in NYC every year

Workplace accidents in New York City can lead to a wide range of injuries. Some common types of injuries seen in NYC workplace accidents include:

Slips, trips, and falls – Workers may fall from heights, such as scaffolding or ladders, or slip and fall on wet or uneven surfaces, leading to fractures, sprains, and head injuries.
Lifting injuries – Overexertion and heavy lifting can cause strains and sprains in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries are commonly seen in industries that involve manual labor, such as construction, manufacturing, and warehouse work.
Crush injuries – Workers in industries with heavy machinery, construction sites, or manufacturing plants may be at risk of crush injuries. These can occur when body parts are caught between moving parts of machinery or objects, leading to severe fractures, amputations, or internal injuries.
Electrical injuries – Electricians and workers in industries where electrical equipment is used face the risk of electrical injuries. Electrical shocks can cause burns, cardiac events, nerve damage, and other serious injuries.
Cuts and lacerations – Workers who handle sharp objects or work with machinery that performs cutting or shearing actions may experience cuts and lacerations. These injuries can range from minor cuts requiring stitches to severe wounds that may result in permanent scarring or disfigurement.
Repetitive motion injuries – These can occur when employees perform the same movements over and over again, resulting in pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected areas.

Don't get hurt again - get a NYC attorney who knows your rights

Under New York law, if you're injured on the job, you get compensation for all of your medical expenses and a percentage of your lost wages if you can't work during your recovery. If you have a permanent injury to your extremities, you can also get compensation for permanent partial disability (PPD), whether you can still work or not. You get workers' compensation regardless of fault - if it happened at work, your employer's insurance company has to pay.

But that doesn't mean getting the compensation you need is simple. The insurance company may dispute whether you were really hurt on the job, especially if you have an injury like carpal tunnel that was sustained over a period of time. They may question the extent of your injuries or even argue that you're faking it. We know how to fight back. Our NYC workers' compensation attorneys have a strong track record - over 100,000 clients represented and billions recovered for workers in New York City and statewide.
