Work Accidents

Bronx, New York, Attorneys for Work Accident Victims

It is a common misconception that workers’ compensation insurance is the only potential source for recovering money after an accident on the job. In fact, parties other than your employer may have legal liability if their negligence was a factor in causing your work accident and injuries.

If you have been seriously injured and believe someone other than your employer was responsible, please contact our lawyers for a free consultation. If we agree to pursue your case, you will owe no attorney fees unless and until we obtain a financial settlement or verdict for you.

Prepared to Investigate Any Potential Cause and Negligent Party

Legal action against a non-employer for a work accident requires proving third party liability. These cases can be complex and demanding, but may yield sizable recoveries that are essential for the long-term well-being of you and your family. Deploying a network of investigators and specialists as necessary, we are prepared to consider every angle.

On-the-job accident scenarios that involve third party liability are wide ranging — sometimes justifying legal action against equipment providers, subcontractors, service organizations, consultants, and others.

For example, we represented a worker involved in the demolition of an office. The worker was electrocuted because the general contractor neglected to shut the power off to the electric lines that he was told to cut. When the worker cut the lines, he cut into live wires. Needless to say, he was seriously injured. Although he was entitled to workers compensation, he was also entitled to file a claim against the general contractor that failed to ensure that the electric lines were shut off before demolition began. Our office filed an action for this injured worker and obtained a substantial recovery for him.

An Aggressive, Proven Approach to Your Valid Personal Injury Case

Our track record includes successful recoveries from major insurance companies, municipalities, and other imposing and powerful entities with significant resources.

We are committed to delivering honest, realistic counsel as well as aggressive legal representation for worksite accident victims and their families. If we assess and offer to pursue your work accident case, that means we believe in it. We do not file claims and lawsuits based on a “hope” that the insurer or other liable party will settle — but on the solid grounds that our client deserves compensation and we have the evidence to prove negligence at trial if necessary.
