Hurt on the Job in Queens?

Workplace injuries can happen in any industry — from offices and warehouses to restaurants and retail stores. If you've been injured at work in Queens or anywhere in New York City, you are likely entitled to workers' compensation benefits. But in many cases, you may also have the right to pursue additional compensation through a third-party claim.

Why You Need an Attorney

Navigating the workers' compensation system in New York can be complex and overwhelming. Insurance companies often try to deny or minimize claims. An experienced workplace injury attorney ensures you receive all the benefits you are entitled to — including medical treatment, lost wages, and disability benefits. If a third party (such as a property owner, equipment manufacturer, or subcontractor) contributed to your injury, you may also be entitled to a separate personal injury lawsuit.

Important Deadlines

Workers' compensation claims must be filed within two years of the injury, but you should report the injury to your employer within 30 days. Third-party personal injury claims generally have a three-year statute of limitations. Acting quickly protects your rights.
