What Is A Workplace Accident Claim?
Were you hurt at work? If yes, it is critical to have an experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyer to discuss what you are entitled to following a work place injury. Workers’ Compensation Law is mandatory State legislated insurance which an employer must have when operating a business. It has been reported that 129,000 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred in New York in 2020. This is where Workers’ Compensation comes into play. Workers Compensation insurance is specifically designed to protect workers that were injured on the job.
Although Workers Compensation is designed to benefit injured workers, it is very easy to jeopardize your claim. Do not fall a victim to this.
