Workers’ compensation is no-fault insurance that most employees in Manhattan have. You do not need to prove who caused the accident, which can eliminate some frustration. Although all your medical bills can be covered, workers’ compensation only covers a portion of your lost wages. You also can’t receive compensation for certain damages like pain and suffering.
In many cases, you might consider filing a third-party claim or lawsuit. HKD can help. Third-party claims can hold an entity outside of your employer or coworkers accountable. For example, if a defective device hurts you at work, you might file a third-party claim against the manufacturer or retailer of the product. You can recover total compensation, including all lost wages, pain, and suffering.
Third-party claims can bring you relief from the financial impact of your accident. Your attorney will work with you to build a strong third-party claim and advocate on your behalf. If necessary, an HKD lawyer can take your case to trial and fight for the settlement you deserve.
