When you go to work, you should expect a safe environment in the workplace. Unfortunately, on-the-job accidents injure people in and around New York City on a daily basis. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to file a claim for personal injury damages in addition to any workers’ compensation claim you may have.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there were 74 work-related fatalities in New York City in 2015, a slight decrease from the previous year. Many more people suffer serious, often permanent injuries in workplace accidents, creating a burden for victims and their families.

While workers’ compensation provides some benefits to people injured on the job, it is not intended to compensate the victim of an accident for damages caused by pain and suffering, loss of union benefits and other damages. Fortunately, it is often not the only option to consider. If a third party (someone other than your employer) caused or contributed to an on-the-job injury, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim against that party to recover additional compensation for your injuries.
