HELPING INJURED NYC WORKERS

Even though most workers are limited to collecting workers compensation benefits from their employer, unsafe conditions on the job can lead to liability against parties other than the employer. For example, building owners are legally responsible if a worker falls because of a dangerous floor, elevator, lobby or some other dangerous condition of the building. Manufacturers are legally responsible if a worker is injured because of a dangerous tool or piece of equipment. There are many other examples. This is important, because while workers compensation benefits are limited and rarely cover expenses, an injured worker can seek full compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and damages for pain and suffering in a third party (non employer) claim.

The firm of Jeffrey J. Shapiro & Associates has helped injured workers hurt in accidents receive multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements.
