New York Workplace Injury Attorney

Most employees working for a business operating in New York are covered by the state's comprehensive workers' compensation insurance, in the event of a workplace injury. Workers' compensation benefits are specifically intended to cover medical costs directly related to the injury and loss of earnings while the worker is unable to return to usual employment. Because workers' compensation benefits are so limited and specific, the monthly payments typically cover only a portion of the actual financial damages resulting from a catastrophic, life-changing injury.

Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C., is recognized as one of New York City's pre-eminent law firms representing injured workers in third-party lawsuits to seek full and fair compensation for workplace injuries. We help you seek financial damages from negligent parties held liable for your accident, including manufacturers of defective products and work equipment, negligent subcontractors and property owners who are responsible for providing a safe work environment.

What Is a Third-Party Lawsuit?

If you file a claim for workers' compensation following your workplace injury, you typically have no further recourse for financial damages from your employer. However, if you can show that another party (referred to as a third party) shares responsibility for negligence that caused your accident, you have legal recourse to seek additional damages. In many cases, third-party lawsuits are the only way to recover money damages for life-long financial losses, pain and suffering, and other damages not specifically awarded under workers' compensation insurance.
