Third Party Liability (in addition to Workers' Compensation Claims)

New York City Third Party Liability (in addition to Workers' Compensation) Lawyers

Construction workers, including electricians, carpenters, sheet-metal workers, roofers and many other workers are subjected to enhanced risks in the course of their everyday work. Given the nature of the occupation, when an on-the-job accident occurs, these workers are frequently subjected to catastrophic injuries and even fatalities.

At the New York City law office of Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we have helped injured workers obtain the compensation they deserve for their work-related injuries for decades. In fact, one of the most rewarding components of our work is the referrals we receive from past clients who have told their family, friends and coworkers of the positive results we achieved for them.

Under the workers' compensation system, most injured workers are barred from filing negligence claims against their employer for injuries suffered on the job. In exchange, their employer provides workers' compensation insurance to cover wage loss and medical expenses.

Injured Workers May Be Entitled to More Than Workers' Comp

When a worksite accident results in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, workers' compensation benefits may be inadequate and may be exhausted quickly, leaving injured workers and their families with ongoing financial problems related to the injury. However, at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, we have in-depth knowledge of the additional avenues of liability that frequently are available in cases involving construction accidents and other jobsite accidents. Third party liability claims may be pursued against parties, other than the employer, who are responsible for the accident or the injuries.
