Regardless of safety precautions, construction laborers are exposed to risk of injury on a daily basis. Sadly, New York State Workers' Compensation law prohibits employees from suing their employers for on-the-job accidents and leaves the laborer solely to Workers' Compensation remedies to recover against their employer. Often times, Workers' Compensation is insufficient compensation, especially in the case of a serious and long term injury. Fortunately, the law does not prohibit the injured person from recovering against a third party, such as a contractor, architect, manufacturer, property owner, or other person (except for a co-employee) or entity who may have been responsible for causing the injuries.
Identifying third parties can be complicated and a trained attorney is often necessary.
At McMahon, Kublick & Smith, P.C., we have attorneys with the requisite knowledge to identify those third parties and to handle your lawsuit. In addition, we can handle your Workers' Compensation claim. There is no need for you to find two separate attorneys.
