Injured On The Job | Yonkers Personal Injury
Suing Your Employer
When you’re injured on the job, you’re not permitted to sue your employer unless you work for the railroad or maritime industries. However, if you’ve been injured as a result of the negligence of a third-party, you may have a basis for a lawsuit.
Workers’ compensation laws bar you from suing your employer or a co-worker. You need an experienced law firm who understands what’s involved and how to analyze the facts and circumstances of your own claim to know if you in fact have a basis for a lawsuit.
The New York Labor Law requires full protection and safety devices to prevent workers from sustaining injuries when working at heights. Failure to do so can impose 100% liability for your injuries.
