Work Related Accidents
State and federal regulations along with industry standards require employers to use safety measures to protect their employees from injury. Despite this, thousands of workers die or are severely injured while working. Though worker's compensation benefits help employees that are injured on the job, they most often are not enough to compensate for the damages caused by work related injuries.
New York State Law prohibits employees from suing their employers. Lawsuits must be filed against other parties in the form of lawsuits for pain and suffering, additional medical benefits, loss of service for the spouse, and wage loss.
