It only takes a moment for a work accident to change your life. Your recovery time may be weeks, months or even years. Under New York law, workers’ compensation should pay for the full cost of your medical treatment for a job-related injury, as well as a percentage of your lost wages during the recovery process. But actually getting benefits can be difficult. The system puts obstacles in your way. We can help you overcome them.
What to do after a workplace accident in Queens
If you were involved in a workplace accident in Queens, take prompt action to begin building your injury claim. Make sure you document the work accident scene by noting the date, time, and location. Take pictures of the accident scene, the conditions that contributed to it, and any visible injuries you sustained.
Report the work accident to your employer as soon as possible and see a doctor right away. While many visible injuries such as burns and lacerations may be easy to detect, some injuries don’t show symptoms for several hours or days. A medical evaluation can help identify hidden injuries and create a clear link to your workplace accident.
When it’s time to file your workplace injury claim, talk to an experienced Queens work accident lawyer. They can help you explore your options for compensation, whether it’s a workers’ comp claim or a third-party workplace negligence claim.
Depending on which type of claim you’re eligible for, our attorneys help injured workers fight for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, rehabilitation, permanent disability, and death benefits.
