Slip and Fall Accidents at Work

Bronx Work Accident & Workers' Comp Lawyer

Slip and fall accidents and trip and fall accidents at the workplace can cause serious, even life-threatening injuries.  When a person trips and falls, he or she may suffer a serious head injury or spinal cord injury, and there have been fatal workplace accidents of this type.  However, most slip and fall accidents have less tragic results, but there are often injuries that will require immediate medical attention.  If you or a loved one has had such an accident, it is crucial that you contact a Bronx workplace accident attorney to assist you in filing a workers' compensation claim to receive the benefits you deserve.

In New York, an injured worker has the right to file a workers' compensation claim for any injury sustained at the workplace or while performing one's job duties. This applies to slip and fall accidents as well as any other type of potential work-related injury. Regardless of who was at fault or what caused the accident in particular, you will have the right to workers' comp benefits. This form of insurance is a no-fault program, meaning the injured party does not need to prove that someone else caused their slip and fall accident in order to recover damages.
