Workplace Injury
You didn’t get hurt because you were careless. You got hurt because a job site, employer, contractor, or system failed to keep you safe.
Now you’re dealing with pain, lost wages, and pressure from insurance carriers and employers who want you back to work before you’re ready — or worse, want your claim denied altogether.
A workplace injury threatens more thank just your paycheck, it threatens your health. At LawNow, we don’t just process paperwork—we protect your future. We act instantly to secure your benefits and investigate every third-party claim to ensure you receive the maximum compensation allowed under NY law.
01.Workplace Injuries in NYC Are Not Simple
Many workers believe that filing for workers’ compensation guarantees benefits. It doesn’t. In reality, injured workers face:
- ›Delayed or denied workers’ comp claims
- ›Biased IME doctors cutting off benefits
- ›Pressure to return to work too early
- ›Employers and insurers minimizing injuries
Without legal protection, injured workers are often underpaid, overworked, and left confused about their rights. Early legal action is critical — especially in New York’s complex labor and construction environment.
02.Workplace Injuries We Handle
We represent injured workers across all industries, including:
- ›Construction site accidents
- ›Scaffold, ladder, and crane accidents under Labor Law 240/241
- ›Warehouse and factory injuries
- ›Delivery drivers and transportation workers
- ›Hospital and healthcare worker injuries
- ›MTA, sanitation, NYPD, and FDNY line-of-duty injuries
- ›Machinery and equipment-related injuries
Whether you’re union or non-union, blue collar or grey collar, your rights matter — and we enforce them.
03.What Workers’ Compensation Covers
Workers’ compensation benefits may include:
- ›All necessary medical treatment related to your injury
- ›Weekly wage replacement benefits while you’re unable to work
- ›Permanent partial or total disability benefits
- ›Schedule loss of use awards for permanent impairment
- ›Death benefits for surviving families
Insurance carriers fight to minimize every one of these benefits. We fight to maximize them.
04.When Workers’ Comp Is Not Enough
Workers’ compensation is often only part of the recovery — not the full picture. You may have additional legal options if:
- ›Your claim is denied or delayed
- ›An IME doctor cuts off your benefits
- ›A settlement offer is unfair
- ›A third party caused or contributed to your injury
Third-party lawsuits may be filed against: - General contractors and property owners - Equipment and machinery manufacturers - Vehicle drivers involved in work-related crashes - Maintenance and safety companies These claims allow injured workers to pursue compensation beyond workers’ comp, including pain and suffering. We identify and pursue every available legal path.
