Workers' Compensation Overview

Workers' Compensation in New York City

Representing Injured Workers in New York City

Workers' compensation is designed to provide basic financial assistance for workers who are injured on the job, and includes compensation for medical expenses, a portion of lost wages and income following full or partial disability. However, a large majority of work-injury accidents occur due to the negligence of third parties such as independent contractors and vendors.

If you or a loved one has been injured at work, the attorneys of The Orlow Firm of New York City can refer you to a New York workers' compensation attorney and then help you pursue additional compensation in third-party claims if warranted. We provide the aggressive, experienced representation you need to protect your rights and interests.

Aggressively Pursuing Third-Party Claims

When workplace accidents are caused by the negligence of third parties, as opposed to the employer or a co-worker, an injured worker may be able to pursue a third-party claim in addition to collecting benefits from the New York workers' compensation program. Filing a third-party claim allows an individual to collect additional benefits, including compensation for pain and suffering.

Our firm regularly represents construction workers, factory works, delivery men and women, and others with third-party claims against contractors, subcontractors, vendors and other independent parties whose negligent actions resulted in serious or fatal accidents. As highly experienced trial lawyers, we bring our knowledge and proactive approach to obtaining the benefits our clients need to achieve maximum recovery.

Don't take your employer's word that your rights stop once your workers' compensation claim is finalized. Contact The Orlow Firm by calling 866-959-7202 today to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our experienced personal injury lawyers.
