When you work in construction, job-related injuries can often lead to expensive medical bills, lost wages and, in some cases, permanent disability. Those who can return to work might fear losing their jobs, should they seek compensation. Although certain laws ensure workplace safety, work-related injuries are not uncommon, particularly in the construction industry. If you have been injured in a work-related incident, you have two possible avenues of payment: receiving workers’ compensation and/or winning a personal injury lawsuit. In all cases, you should pursue workers’ compensation. In most cases, you should pursue both. Contact us today for a free consultation with an experienced NYC construction accident lawyer.
