Injury at Work

While at your usual place of work, you experienced an injury. This injury may cause you a lot of pain and suffering, medical bills to treat this injury, and may put you out of work and you will lose your income. All these consequences may cause you a lot of stress and worry.

Within the State of New York, all employers are legally required to have workers compensation insurance for their employees. This means if you are hurt on the job, your employer is mandated to give you compensation for your injuries.

We commonly represent workers who were injured on the job in these scenarios:

1. Injury working at a construction site
2. Injury working at a restaurant
3. Injury while operating Uber or Lyft
4. Injury while operating employer’s motor vehicle
5. Injury working in the supermarket
6. Injury working in a store
7. Injury working at nail salon

If you were injured while working and do not fit into one of the above scenarios, you are still entitled to workers compensation. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Employer can not retaliate worker based on workers' compensation claim. Bhurtel Law Firm has successfully represented US citizens, Green card holders, work authorization holders and undocumented/non citizen who were able to receive worker's compensation benefits.
