Your employer is responsible for taking all reasonable measures to secure your safety on the job. Hundreds of employees are injured at work in New York each day, and thousands of work accidents result in severe injuries and death. Employees who suffer injuries at work may be entitled to compensation.

If a death occurs, family members may be eligible for compensation. Depending upon the specific conditions present in the workplace when the injury is sustained, injured employees may have the right to sue by filing a personal injury lawsuit. We understand that this can be a complex and confusing time for you. That’s why we encourage employees who have suffered a work injury to seek the advice of a law firm that is recognized for its experience and expertise in injury cases, like ours at Gurfein Douglas LLP.

Gurfein Douglas LLP has the staffing and knowledge to identify and prosecute all available claims. This helps ensure that the worker receives the optimum compensation and benefits to which they have a right. At Gurfein Douglas LLP, we have the expertise and experience to handle your case professionally and competently.

Not all injuries are physical. You may be entitled to financial compensation for these losses if you have suffered physically, emotionally, or financially. In fatal cases, families may also be eligible for compensation. This includes compensation for emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of future earnings.
