New York Workplace / Construction Accident Lawyers

Work related accidents are often unexpected and violent, and they can cause serious injury or even death. Workers’ compensation laws deal with the damages that can be awarded to injured employees to cover medical expenses, continuing wages, and loss of the capacity to earn. However, a workers’ compensation claim may not be your only recourse.

If you have suffered from an on-the-job injury, make sure the lawyer you hire investigates whether you also have a claim against a "third party," such as the manufacturer of unsafe equipment, the owner of the premises or vessel where the injury occurred (if different from your employer), or against another company whose employee caused the injury. At the Goidel and Siegel Law Firm in NY, we investigate each aspect of your work-related injury.
