Options for Seeking Compensation for an Industrial Accident 

If you have suffered injuries from an industrial accident, it is important to consult an experienced New York industrial accident lawyer to find out about your options for seeking compensation. You may be able to recover compensation by filing a: 

• Workers’ compensation claim 

If you are an employee working on an industrial site when the accident occurred, you can file for workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation is designed to provide workers with a financial cushion when they suffer injuries at work. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. This means that you don’t have to prove fault to recover compensation. Workers receive wage replacement benefits as well as medical care benefits for injuries and illnesses that are work-related regardless of who is at fault. 

New York laws require employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover their employees. In most instances, workers seeking workers’ compensation cannot file a personal injury claim against their employers. However, there are some exceptions e.g. in the case of gross negligence. 

• Personal injury claim

You may also be able to file a personal injury claim against a third party whose negligence or recklessness contributed to the accident that caused your injuries. For example, if you were injured while using defective machinery, you can file a claim for compensation from the manufacturer of the defective equipment or part. 

In order to file a personal injury lawsuit, you must prove that there was negligence and that this negligence resulted in the accident that caused your injuries.
