For Your Own Protection, Get Free, Timely Legal Advice After A Construction Site Accident
It is very important for construction workers to consult an attorney immediately after an injury, before speaking with anyone else.
It’s common for an “investigator” to visit an injured construction worker in the hospital or at home, right after an accident. The investigator may seem friendly and claim to be there to help you get your benefits. Unfortunately, the investigator is often there to limit the liability of a company to pay for the worker’s injuries.
Winning Workers’ Comp Claims And Third-Party Liability Claims
You may have a personal injury claim against someone other than your employer in addition to a workers’ compensation claim. Your fall, back injury or head injury case may be worth a great deal more money through a third-party liability claim. To protect your rights following a construction injury, contact the Klein Law Group, P.C., to talk with an attorney. We work closely with some of the finest personal injury law firms in the city, and we can coordinate both cases to help maximize their value. We can represent you in any construction site accident, including:
- Injuries involving cranes
- Building collapse injuries
- Falls from ladders and scaffolds
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Roof and wall collapse injuries
Please review our our brochure on construction workers and workers’ compensation for more information. We help injured construction workers throughout the New York City metro area and beyond.
What If My Jobsite Supervisor Blames Me?
Your boss cannot blame you for an injury you suffer on the job. New York workers’ compensation law does not allow that. And be careful: Never accept money directly from your boss after a workplace injury. If your injury gets worse and you are unable to return to work, you could damage your right to file a workers’ comp claim.
What If I’m An Undocumented Construction Worker In The U.S. Without Proper Immigrant Status?
You still have rights under the law if you have been injured on a construction job site and you are an undocumented worker. You can receive workers’ compensation. Don’t keep your injury a secret. Report it and see a doctor. If you are fearful about reporting it, contact our office and we can help you.
